Whew, I was worried there for a minute but then read that it is in Quebec :slight_smile:
.

I was worried you were going to say Celine Dion.

It’s one bad-ass hole, that’s for sure. Officials are pegging it as 500M wide X 1KM long… huge… Don’t know if they found the family…

I tried to find pics but couldn’t.

That seems to big to be believable!!

Damn. I’ve had sinkholes in my yard before, but nothing like this…

Yuck. Apparently, they were huge Montreal Canadiens fans, and they were in the basement watching the game. Not looking good. Damn.

Looking at those other pictures the first thought was that maybe they hid in the basement, but then I realized that this was not a tornado and they probably had no warning.

The basement is probably the worst place to be in this situation.

Looks like the dog made it.

Dadgum! Let’s name that sinkhole after Madonna.

The family didn’t make it. Very, very sad. 2 girls, 9 and 11.

That’s awful to lose an entire family. Must have been terrifying.

What a way to go.

That is insane!
