That's actually a semi normal occurrence here in Philly due to our lovely decrepit under ground water system. We have sinkholes and water main breaks that shoot 30+ ft geysers or flood entire blocks pretty much monthly. Had a sinkhole eat a Chinese lady's Escalade early last year while she was in the market.

More like broked'd through. A sinkhole almost claimed my auntie's house once. Luckily it only took the orphanage a few yards away. :eek: . Naw it was somethin else. I've never seen a sinkhole in va though. Anyone experience one personally?

If that was a Land Rover, they'd just into the low gear range and drive out. :)

But the most important concern, since this is Milwaukee, is if the breweries are ok....

They'd attempt to use low range and the transfer case would explode.
