Large Sinkhole Swallows Up Road In The Villages Of Florida

Author Joe Winner

The Villages retirement community in Florida had another sinkhole form in the community. This one, much larger than the issue they had last summer.

Back in August, the Villages had a pair of sinkholes form in a residential road in Monarch Grove. Those looked to measure just a few feet across and did not threaten any residences. The public works department leveled and backfilled the holes. One of the holes was very close to the driveway of one of the villas, but didn’t directly affect the residence. According to the Villages-News “a total of 351.3 cubic yards of concrete was injected at 21 sites to depths ranging from 25 to 55 feet.”

Yesterday, another sinkhole was reported. This in the city of Wildwood. In Florida we don’t like to use the word sinkhole. They refer to it as a ‘depression’. Well, this depression swallowed up a big part of the road.

Speaking as a homeowner in Florida, a sinkhole scares me more than hurricanes.

With a hurricane you know it’s coming. You can prepare. And most importantly, hurricanes are covered by insurance. Sinkhole coverage is not standard on most policies. You need to add it.

This is not a phenomenon exclusive to The Villages. Polk County had a big one open up last month in an area where a company had planned to start a development. No word if those plans are to continue.

Here Are The Top Hard Seltzers For Fall 2023

  • 10. WHITE CLAW ICED TEA MANGO

    I like iced tea. And I like mango. I haven’t tried this yet, but based on the combo here, I probably should.

     

  • 9. TOPO CHICO

    I have bought the variety pack in the past and like the flavors. If you like Topo Chico sparkling water, you’ll like these hard seltzers.

  • 8. COORS SELTZER

    I haven’t even heard of these and it sounds like they may be discontinued in the US. But they’re described as “Crisp and perfectly balanced with a hint of sweetness to elevate the tropical notes of a ripe, freshly sliced mango.” Sounds good to me!

  • 7. TRULY HARD SELTZER

    Solid brand for hard seltzers. Pretty much every flavor I’ve tried I’ve enjoyed.

  • 6. CORONA HARD SELTZER

    I haven’t tried these yet, but the flavors sound great. From blackberry citrus and strawberry kiwi to blueberry acai and raspberry lemon, I think I’ll take one of each!

  • 5. BLUE MOON LIGHT SKY

    Interesting that this is considered a hard seltzer and not a beer. I like Blue Moon, so I thought this would just be a lighter version, but this one doesn’t do it for me.

  • 4. WHITE CLAW HARD SELTZER

    Ain’t no laws when you’re drinking Claws! The OG comes in at #4.

  • 3. TRULY PASSIONFRUIT

    Big fan of Truly. Any of the tropical flavors are perfect for a beach day.

     

  • 2. SMIRNOFF SPIKED SPARKLING SELTZER

    These are another I’ll have to add to my list. There are 8 different flavors, all with zero sugar and only 90 calories.

     

  • 1. MIKE'S HARD LEMONADE SELTZER PINEAPPLE

    I’ve had plenty of Mike’s Hard Lemonade in my day, but never the seltzer. Add pineapple in there, it has to be good. Being #1 on the list is a great reason to try it!
