A sinkhole has opened in the middle of the 1500 block of County Road 1 in Dunedin.

Some residents at the Palm Lakes Village Villas have to move out of their homes for now.

Many of them are shifting into other units in the complex. They say the whole thing is a mess.

"Don’t they equate moving with death and divorce? (It's) very stressful,” Anne Manning said.

Other residents are staying at motels. It’s unknown how long it might take to get the hole filled.
