Sinkhole Swallows Sleeping Man

A sinkhole opened up under a man's bedroom in Seffner, Fla., in the middle of the night, sucking him down into the earth. He has not been found. "They heard a sound they described as a car crash emanating from the bedroom," Hillsborough County Fire Chief Ron Rogers said. "They rushed in. All they could see was part of a mattress sticking out of the hole. The floor of the room had opened."

I feel the earth move, under my feet.

I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down.

No kidding. Not only can't their residents vote in any reasonably well-run election, but they can't even get a good night's sleep.

When I had that dream it turned out it was only a dream.

In Florida, apparently it's not a dream and Reality Sucks.

Very sad and tragic for this man and the family.

This poor man goes into a sinkhole.

Sucks in Florida.
