Guatemala Sinkhole appears, the said cause for the sinkhole was the overwhelming tropical storm Agatha. Here is a photo that had been posted by the Guatemalan Government showing the “hundimiento” – a spontaneous sinkhole. According to scientists, this occurrence happens from time to time when major storms come. It is due to the unstable geology. This happened just yesterday, May 31,2010. The picture is not edited and sadly it is real. According to the news, more than a hundred people died due to the intense weather. Some sources said that a security guard was kiled by the crater as it was opening widely. The opening of the crater was said to be rare for this kind of a natural depression. The normal process would entail the crater to open slowly and not what had happened where the Guatemala sinkhole suddenly opened. A sinkhole is a natural depression or hole in the surface topography caused by the removal of soil and or bedrock caused by water.

Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom said last Sunday during the Nation Address that there were nearly 112,000 have been evacuatedand 29,000 are living at temporary shelters. The Pacaya Volcano eruption distressed Guatemala greatly and was further extensified by the tropical storm Agatha and later on the Guatemala Sinkhole. Reports say that there were at least 92 deaths, 54 missing and 59 injured.

This is a very devastating moment for the people who live there. We hope and pray that everyone will recover from this tragedy.
