Actually, I don’t believe it until this photo just posted to the Guatemalan Government’s Flickr feed shows a massive. There is a sinkhole (look like a gates of hell) appeared on May 30 in Zoone 2 of Guatemala City.
A sinkhole is a natural depression caused by the removal of underground soil by water. This process can happen slowly, but sometimes the land just cracks open. In this case, it happened suddenly. The cause: Massive underground water torrents created by tropical storm Agatha.
Do you know? The disaster does not end yet. There are rumors of similar sinkholes now forming nearby. See it on Google Maps. (News reports: Prensa Libre, and blogs)
