Sinkhole opens up in Florida, swallows portions of 2 homes

Residents are evacuating from a Florida neighborhood after a sinkhole opened up, swallowing parts of two homes, according to authorities. The sinkhole in Dunedin is about 35-feet wide, Fire Chief Jeff Parks told Fox 13. The station said the sinkhole is expanding and also has damaged a pool and a boat. "It started swallowing everything around it. We were home. We were sleeping. My daughter woke us up," homeowner Michael Dupre said, noting that the ordeal began around 5:15 a.m. local time and sounded like a sledgehammer pounding on a wall.
