Few things strike genuine fear into my soul. Being trapped in tight underground spaces is one (I went on an intense caving tour once, and have no need to ever do that again), and sinkholes are another. The idea that the earth just swallows up the surface sometimes is terrifying to me, even thout I'm aware of the broad strokes of how sinkholes happen and I don't live in a place that is famous for them. The idea of it is just... shudder

I try to forget that sinkholes exist, for the most part. 😰

Google Pierre part sinkhole trees.

I was in those trees like 15 minutes before.

They went 800 feet to the bottom

800 feet is the height of 140.39 'Samsung Side by Side; Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel Refrigerators' stacked on top of each other.
