A sinkhole in west-central Florida has opened again, roughly 10 years after it killed a man when it opened under his bedroom, officials said this week
It’s the third time the sinkhole in Seffner, roughly a 15-mile drive east of Tampa, has opened. After the hole claimed the life of Jeff Bush in 2013, sending him plunging dozens of feet into the earth, Hillsborough County filled the hole and bought the property and home next to it to make sure no one lived too close. Then, in 2015, the hole reopened – about 20 feet wide at the time – and was again filled. No one was injured in the 2015 reopening.
Bush’s brother, Jeremy Bush, told CNN affiliate WFTS that seeing the sinkhole open again is a crippling reminder of the terrifying night in 2013 he heard his sibling screaming for help before vanishing into the ground. “Ain’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about my brother,” he told the news station this week. “Stuff that happened in that house that night, and hearing my brother yell and scream for me to help him, I hear it all the time.
