WATCH: Florida Sinkhole Eats Home

The earth is fickle beast ripened with the temperament of a 3-year-old exhibiting possessive issues. In this case, the issue happens to be a quaint stretch of Florida land in which the aforementioned beast has decided to reclaim a potion of its till for no reason other than to establish a sense of territorial dominance.

ABC Action News broke the story, but Michael Dupre, sensing something was wrong, and surely acting within Florida’s “stand-your-ground” rights, retrieved a weapon in order to combat the assailant that would turn out to be a sign from the devil that maybe he should not be so hasty to fetch a firearm the next time a natural disaster decides to challenge him. Of course, in Florida, it may be easy to mistake a sinkhole with a hooded assailant depending on how close to dusk it is.

Anyway, here’s a video of a hole eating a house without even saying “chomp, chomp…” afterwards like a proper gentleman.
