WEEKI WACHEE, Fla — A large hole opened on Tuesday near Marvelwood Road and Mississippi Kite Avenue in Weeki Wachee.
The land was vacant and is private property.

Southwest Florida Water Management District said that the property owner is responsible for remediation.
We talked with one neighbor who told us she's on high alert.
"Yesterday we were researching to see how we can get our house checked to see and make sure there's no movement going on underneath us because if it's that close, where else is it going to happen?" Julia Nunez explained.
Nunez said she also worries her community is becoming over-populated.
"I'm scared. I'm scared my house is next. Now we're just waiting to see where else it's going to pop up and there's so much land here. They're just going to continue building. All of this is going to be houses at some point and this is just going to make things worse for the people that live here," Nunez added.
“You threw my son under the bus. You didn't take care of him.”
