繁體中文Sinkhole Threatens Town
May 9, 2008
The small Texas town of Daisetta, just north of Houston and home to around 1,000 residents, has been threatened by a monstrous sinkhole. Over the last two days the sinkhole has swallowed oil tanks and barrels, tires, telephone poles and several vehicles that were parked in the area. While residents remain worried, officials have said that further growth of the sinkhole would probably be very slow and there is little danger to surrounding homes. There are about 100 homes in the immediate vicinity of the sinkhole and a school less than a quarter of a mile away.
