This could be the start of a big sinkhole season

On the surface, it appeared Monday that little had changed in Robert and Rhonda Matheny’s backyard. The crater-like sinkhole that opened up Saturday, its lip a few yards from the swimming pool, hadn’t grown much since Sunday. But what was happening below the surface on the Mathenys’ property in Jonesville was of concern to geologists. Rhonda Matheny, 62, said they told her that the storage shed on the far side of the yard would likely fall in at some point.
