Some risk taking individual could snag the property for cheap from the homeowner before anyone really gets to find out if it will be a valid location for cavediving after things settle down... 8)Quote:

Only those that live there are allowed on 252, traffic is rerouted around the area. 7 wells in the area that were tested are contaminated.
I'd like to see how low the swamp is there now. They say they feel the water is traveling south or southwest. Pretty sure there will be no cave diving allowed, HOWEVER if there is I'm be more than happy to check the
C-cards........ha ha ha! :lol:
There is a C-card for "Dark Water, First Magnitude Syphon Diver"?Quote:

Now now, you gotta wait for it to calm down, of course...
But it appears that the authorities are trying to fill / stop it with sandbags and such. That's a bummer if it connects to something..... and it certainly looks like it might.
A sixth sink hole has opened outside Lake City and has forced the closure of 252 down again. The house hasn't fallen into the first one yet,
it is falling apart slowly. The sink is full of ugly black water, you do not see any movement in the water. The last two has opened in the swamp area where the water that flowed into the sink came from. They've been sand bagging to stop the water but more sinks open behind the sandbags. One also opened on Mucho Mulch property, a power pole is right at the edge of it. We've gotten 2-4 inches of rain this week contributing to the problem.
They have to test to see if there is a cavern underneath the highway now.

I"m wondering how many wells in the area contributed to the sink opening up...Quote:
