A second sinkhole in as many days has opened up in Apopka, and it could be related to Hurricane Irma.

Both sinkholes are less than a half mile from each other on Kelly Park Road in northwest Orange County.

“I’m very worried about it. This is right next door here. That’s too close for comfort," said resident David Carpenter.

Carpenter has lived in the Apopka area for the past 17 years, so he’s no stranger to the danger of sinkholes.

“I have classic cars, so that’s one thing I’m really worried about. I wouldn’t want a sinkhole to swallow up a couple of classic cars," Carpenter explained.

That’s because the sinkhole, which is next door at M&S Greenhouses on Kelly Park Road, is estimated to be about 30 by 30 feet.

“It’s terrible. It’s just mother nature opening up. There’s nothing you can do about it. I just hope I don’t get a big one here," Carpenter said.

A spokesperson for Orange County Fire Rescue said Thursday’s sinkhole is about 100 feet from a home. No one was hurt.

It is the second sinkhole to open on Kelly Park Road this week.

A sinkhole opened up underneath a home on West Kelly Park Road Tuesday, forcing a family to evacuate.

Carpenter is leery because about 15 years ago, he said he had a small sinkhole about the size of a refrigerator in his own backyard.

“I was shocked when I first saw it because the ground just went straight down, just collapsed, straight down," Carpenter shared.

That’s why Orange County Commissioner Bryan Nelson, a longtime insurance agent in the Apopka area, wants neighbors to watch out.

“I think what’s going to happen is we might see more based on now that the water is starting to recede,"explained Commissioner Bryan Nelson, who represents District 2 in northwest Orange County.

"Those caverns that were full of water that could prop up that cavern now will be empty or half empty and all of a sudden, the ground could give way even more," Nelson said.

Meanwhile, all Carpenter can do is check his property and wait and see what happens next.

“I’m thinking about it but I don’t know what to do about it," Carpenter said.

Orange County Fire Rescue said the property owner is keeping a close eye on the situation.
