A casual reminder from mother nature...

A sinkhole opened today in guatemala. It swallowed a three-storey building, at least one man and possibly several more. It happened in response to severe rainfall following the tropical storm 'Agatha', which presumably weakened the sediment beneath the city. The national geographic website theorises it's at least 30 storeys deep. Guatemala also suffered a similar incident in 2007, so it's possibly that other subsurface weaknesses are also in development. I'd be scared to go to sleep if I was there during the next storm...
