There are growing concerns that the Lions Club building might be swallowed by the sinkhole.

Sinkholes are usually formed when water erodes underground minerals and rocks, causing the land to sink into itself. Sinkholes are very difficult to control and prevent, and can often become very large. The largest ever sinkhole in recent times is the Qattara depression in Cairo, Egypt, measuring roughly 80 km long by 120 km.
