Yahoo - Here's something you never want to hear: "That loud booming sound is coming from inside the house!" That's what one Inocenta Hernandez from Guatemala City learned after a sudden noise caused her to run outside, thinking there had been an explosion nearby. When she realized the problem was inside her home, she returned to find a gaping, three feet wide, 40 feet deep sinkhole beneath her bed. Hernandez, 65, was relieved that the damage was only to her house, and hadn't harmed her grandchildren, who had been playing near the bed. This was a little too close to home, but she couldn't have been too surprised that a sinkhole had visited her city. Guatemala City is prone to spawning giant pits, which are often caused by tropical rain storms. Sinkholes are natural depressions in the earth that can range anywhere from a few feet to hundreds of acres wide, and measure a shallow foot to 100 feet deep.
What the hell is wrong with Guatemalans? The lady finds a 65 foot hole beneat her bed, right through her linoleum floor and she isn't surprised because Guatemala is the sinkhole capital of the world? GET THE HELL OUT OF GUATEMALA PEOPLE!
Like, aren't you all uber religious like the rest of Latin America? Take it as a sign of God and get the fuck out, because I swear if I see some headline on the news 6 months from now about a whole city getting swallowed by a hole no one saw coming, I won't be donating time, money or blood to the Red Cross. You're gonna have to figure a way out of your hole on your own, standing on top of eachother's shoulders or some shit.
