DAISETTA, TX -- The massive sinkhole, with the crumbling dirt around its edges resembling sharp teeth, had managed to swallow up oil tanks and barrels, tires, telephone poles and several vehicles.

Daisetta residents feared the appetite of the sinkhole, which began as a 20-foot hole in the ground on Wednesday but had grown to 900 feet across and 260 feet deep, would continue unabated Thursday and threaten nearby homes.

But by Thursday afternoon officials and geologists were hopeful the monstrous sinkhole was no longer as hungry.

I'm going to go down there this weekend to see if I can go swim in it. MFM said it is great fun in Mexico so it should be really cool in Texas.
