Limestone is much further down around here, but go deep enough and you find some. The oceans are becoming more acidic with a build-up of dissolved carbon dioxide and a slight drop in pH will make it start dissolving the limestone, which is to say, among other places, the State of Florida. I've fished from fresh sinkholes along the Setinhatchee River. It runs underground, comes up, goes back under. Same thing, acidity of rain dissolves the limestone, removes support from below, collapses happen. David not thinking it will happen rapidly usually we’re all sitting on potential sinkholes.

If the ground opens up and swallows your house you will still be covered, its just refining insurance to make it more clear that a crack in your foundation does not suddenly mean there is a sinkhole. Fraud is the problem. The law does not get rid of sink hole coverage.

Sun, 23 Jan 2011 15:34:31 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=42237#comment-69130 I think that sinkhole omission should be stricken out of the insurance policy for any home owner. The home owner does not know if he is sitting on a pertential sinkhole any more than the insurance company does. It's just part of the chance the insurance company should have to take, The same goes for Hurricane or any other type damage. The home owner does not control the weather and the Insurance company is not God but its part of doing business as a insurance company. Next thing, if the insurance company can get awy with it will be to determine that they will only pay for a house fire if there were no red flames in the fire They are in the insurance business and the State is to protect the people and not allow them to over charge the citizens and not be taking kick backs or otherwise..
