mum’s old house up in pasco county, was 9 acres of deep sand, next to a limestone quarry that regularly blasted underground. that whole area is going to just disappear one day, and i am happy she is no longer there.
many, many sinkholes in that part of the state.
florida is a beautiful place. beautiful, but extremely delicate. it really can’t handle being fucked with in the ways it has been exploited and overdeveloped. couple the digging up the limestone substrate with draining the aquifer (hello, Nestlé!) and there’s your blueprint to have it all come crashing in.
