On Tuesday,
a family in Apopka, Florida — about 30 minutes northwest of Orlando — called
9-1-1 when they noticed a corner of their bathroom was descending into the
ground.
"I saw
big, deep cracks in the bathroom. The tub was sinking and the window was coming
loose," homeowner Ellen Miller told local news station WFTV. "I said,
'It's time to go.'"
By the time
emergency workers arrived, Miller and her family had moved all the possessions
they could to their front lawn. Just minutes later, they watched as the rest of
their house was swallowed by a chasm roughly 25 feet long and 15 feet wide.
The family
had only recently witnessed the massive destruction of Hurricane Irma.
"We
made it through the hurricane. We were really, really lucky, and then
this," Miller told WFTV.
