Imagine if this had happened in the middle of an actual soccer match. Video shows the moment when a soccer field suddenly had a sinkhole open up right in the middle of it.
If you've been in a part of Missouri where sinkholes are present, you know they're strange enough by themselves. One sinkhole in particular seems to have something else going on as there are reports of bizarre creature activity nearby.
You might want to be careful what the earth underneath you is doing if you're driving through Illinois today as a massive sinkhole suddenly opened up and even caused a highway to close.
I'm going to ask what I admit is a bit of a rhetorical question. Why did a huge sinkhole suddenly appear in the woods of Missouri? I have no idea, but I do have video proof that it happened.
I will confess that I only think about sinkholes when I see one appear and that's not frequently. There have been some that have been spotted in Missouri recently which led me on an investigation where I learned that the state is a dangerous sinkhole hotspot.
We've long had an incorrect adage in these parts about seasons: The only seasons we have in Rockford are winter and road construction. Not true. We actually have three of them if you include pothole season.
