Is the whole state one big sink hole waiting to happen? What's next, the Epcot Ball?

If you could find a putter big enough, you could use the Epcot ball and the entire state of Florida as a putt putt course.

DUNEDIN, Fla. -A Dunedin neighborhood remains on edge after a large sinkhole opened up early Thursday morning.
Portions of two homes continue to collapse into the massive hole near 1112 Robmar Road, just north of downtown Dunedin. Both homes have been condemned.
According to the latest estimates by experts at the scene, the sinkhole is 90 feet wide by 56 feet deep.
The sinkhole opened up under part of Michael and Janie Dupres home."Over and over again you just keep hearing, boom, boom, said Jaine.
Early this morning, the Dupres 13-year-old daughter, Ivy, alerted the family to the sinkhole danger.It started getting really loud and I really thought someone was trying to break in," she said."
I compared it to someone taking a sledge hammer trying to take a huge sledge hammer and knock it against walls. Its a cracking, banging sound," recalled Michael Dupre.
Six other homes have been evacuated as a precaution and Duke Energy has shut down power to the area.
From the vantage point of Action Air 1, a neighbors boat could be seen teetering on the edge of the hole. It was later pulled to safety.
