Well then, second question.
Remember that sinkhole down in Florida that swallowed up that one guy?
Have sinkholes ever been known to happen in northern New Jersey?
Up to a couple years ago I only saw news of a sink hole somewhere perhaps every 18 months if that often.
We in the granite state have our own problems. Out of the blue we have had 3-4 little earth quakes. The last one caused my glasses and plates to rattle about for a 45 seconds , the big boom came first then the mild shaking.
Something is going on under ground all over the country. Natural movement to Teutonic plates or man made from drilling for oil, fracking or the NK blowing up atom bombs deep in the earth, energy waves radiate out and take the path of least resistance.
My small comunity is built on former wet land, somehow the land lord got a pass. When we first got our lot it was all wooded, I found all kinds of plants that thrive in wet areas. After we moved our home here the land lord brought in DE bull dozers and took 90% of the trees down. This was not what we bargained for but what could I do. We have had flooding from time to time, were it not for the granite I would worry about sink holes.
The poor man who in bed had the earth swallow him up, unbelievable, a nightmare of going to hell in a hand basket.
