Above, this photo just posted to the Guatemalan Government's Flickr feed shows a massive, spontaneous sinkhole ("hundimiento") that appeared today in Zone 2 of Guatemala City, after overwhelming saturation of rains from tropical storm Agatha. Not Photoshop, sadly: these happen from time to time during major storms in part because of unstable geology. There are rumors of similar sinkholes now forming nearby. See it on Google Maps. (News reports: Prensa Libre, and blogs)

They've had these before, the last one was in 2007 from a ruptured sewage and killed two people.

Moments later, people were seen bringing old tires, brush pick-up items and plaid easy chairs for a quick drop-off.

Man, that is so bizarre, in a cool kind of way. But what seems odd to me is that there is absolutely no one around. I understand evacuating a large perimeter for safety, but I would still expect to see an emergency vehicle around keeping some sort of watch.

It's only 65 feet deep..and it swallowed an entire 3 story building already. Might be a rocky landing..

So you're saying there's a good possibility God's Asian? That's a big hole but pretty damn small when when you think, "God-terms."
