Since I was a boy, I’ve had a fascination with earth holes, tunnels, lava tubes and caves. I think I’ve always been curious to find out what lies beneath. This Reuters picture from yesterday is simply amazing!

Over the weekend, a giant sinkhole opened up in Guatamala City as a result of Tropical Storm Agatha. The sinkhole swallowed a whole garment factory, but apparently nobody was hurt. All in all, Guatemala is not faring well. More than 125,000 people were evacuated, 152 are dead and 100 are reported missing. The Los Angeles Times has the story.
