The Sinkhole That's Eating Texas
On Wednesday, a dainty 20-foot sinkhole appeared in Daisetta, Texas. Then it began to eat the town. By Friday, it was 900 feet across and 260 feet deep. Filled with a toxic mixture of various liquids and debris, the hole has consumed vehicles, oil tanks, and telephone poles. Scientists think it's stopped growing, but since they DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT STARTED IT, it's hard to take their predictions too seriously.
Read more, and see an amazing video of the sinkhole in action at CNN.
Thank you Sekrit7 and FooFoo for sending me the story! (Great minds think alike!)

Ms. Weasley: Very mysterious, indeed!
0.0 i recently finished the book TAngerine in which a sinkhole eats their school. it's way cool. I LOVE KIKI'S INTERESTING BLOGS! WOO-HOO!
Eek! That's crazy. Hey, Ananka's lucky that the entrance to Shadow City that first day of adventure wasn't a toxic waste-hole!
OMG!this is pure crazy!
I wonder where it goes...
ahhhhhh!!!
I'm crawing with bugs and smell like smoke. don't ask why.

So cool! If it wasn't for the fact that she doesn't excist for real (or does she??) I would probably think DeeDee lays behind. ;)
Oh, that's really scary! I showed my brother and he said "Is it gonna eat the world?" :) 8 year olds!
Thanks for posting this!!
Ths sinkhole is going to det the world! (No, I am not b-ballarinas brother, but I'm feeling crazy today = )
IT IS GONNA EAT THE WORLD B-BALL-ERINA!! XD I think it'll stop eating Texas soon. I can kinda imagine hundreds or thousands of years later scientists will find "The Ancient Fossel Remainings of a Disaster That Happened Hundreds of Years Ago."
Very close to my house, some stones in the street is going down, just as if it was a hole under it. Just a little bit, but still very mysterious! I wanna check it and try to lift up some of the stones to see if I can find something down there. But I have one problem, it's almost always people walking around there and I don't want anybody to see me. And even thought it's close to my house, it isn't the best place to go on your own in night. What am I going to do??
that's really cool and kinda scary
I read Tangerine, too. Yeah, it has a sinkhole. It's a good book, although swallowed up by the sinkhole of mediocrely boring books compared to KIKI STRIKE. Yes. the sinkhole will eat the world.
That's cool. I live in Texas! I might check it out next time we're on a road trip!
IT'S GONNA EAT THE WORLD!!!
AAAAH! HIDE ME!
