A fourth sinkhole in Hillsborough County of Seffner, Florida, forced families to evacuate their homes on March 23. Seffner is the same town where a sinkhole killed Jeff Bush and swallowed his bedroom February 28.
The new sinkhole is estimated to measure 8 feet wide and 10 feet deep and is located between two homes on Lake Shore Ranch Drive.
It was discovered when Gabriella Pazmino, an 11-year-old girl, was standing next to an ice cream truck with her friends. She took a closer look at the hole and then told her dad about it, ABC News reports.
The Hillsborough County Fire Rescue crews and code officials are keeping on eye on the sinkhole, reports WFLA.com.
No one has been injured and no structural damage has been reported, but residents are worried their home is next, according to ABC.
The new sinkhole is roughly 1.5 miles from the estimated 60-foot deep sinkhole that opened on February 28 at 240 Faithway Drive in Seffner, which killed Jeff Bush in his bedroom when he was swallowed by the sinkhole.
That sinkhole has since been filled with 4 truckloads of cement slab and concrete, and the house has been demolished. Jeff Bushââ¬â¢s body was never recovered from the sinkhole.
