Sinkhole Opens Under Florida Condo Building

Authorities say 13 people were evacuated after a possible sinkhole opened outside a condominium complex in central Florida.

An advisory from Alert Seminole County says 16 units at Royal Arms Condominiums were affected by the sinkhole that opened last Tuesday evening.

WESH reports those evacuated included a 92-year-old woman.

Officials say the sinkhole appeared to be between 20-feet (6-meters) and 30-feet (9-meters) deep, and growing.

The American Red Cross assisted with displaced residents. Altamonte Springs police and Seminole County Fire and Rescue were also on the scene.
