The last thing Iva Mae Plaganis wanted to see as she walked out of her front door was a huge hole. But that is just what she saw.
A sinkhole opened up and swallowed most of Plaganis' front lawn in her Tall Pines subdivision in New Port Richey.
"There was no noise or anything," Plaganis said. "It just collapsed."
Plaganis said her elderly mother and granddaughter were home at the time the ground gave way. No one was hurt.
The sinkhole is between 10 to 15 feet wide and about 10 or so feet deep. Initially, about three homes were evacuated. Now things seem to be a little better. But Plaganis is still wary of it.
"Absolutely makes you nervous. Every time I heard a sound last night, I was like oh my God," Plaganis said.
Plaganis doesn't have any sinkhole insurance and is trying to figure out what to do next.
She believes an old sewer line may have burst, but she will not know for sure until crews come look at it. To make matters worse, her air conditioner went out too.
"It's extremely frustrating," Plaganis added.
Several weeks ago, another sinkhole opened up near the subdivision. Tropical Storm Debby and Isaac's heavy rains could be to blame.
