It's been 15 years since a massive sinkhole opened up in Liberty County, and suddenly it's growing again.
The small Texas town of Daisetta made news in 2008 when a massive sinkhole opened up in the earth, threatening buildings and prompting an extended road closure. It's been 15 years since then, and now it appears the sinkhole is growing again.
A view from SkyEye shows visible cracks in the earth. Some buildings and other structures appear to be leaning or threatened, and surrounded by water. City officials released a statement which reads in part, "City officials immediately contacted the offices of the Liberty County Judge, the Liberty County Fire Marshal, and the Texas Division of Emergency Management, and notified residents in the immediate area of the situation. City officials are closely monitoring the situation and will work with state and local authorities to provide updates to the community as the situation progresses.
