Florida Sinner Sucked Down to Hell!
 
Look for incidents like THIS one to increase over the next few years. Florida has much to atone for (queer mecca, illegal wetbacks, drug dealers, and joo covens), and Jesus has chosen the unique method of delivering them into the bowels of hell via "sink hole." His ways are mysterious and loving, and we are not to question them. :innocent:

Rescue efforts end for Florida man swallowed by sinkhole

A Florida man fell into a sinkhole that opened suddenly Thursday night beneath the bedroom of his suburban Tampa home, calling out to his brother for help as he fell, a fire department spokeswoman said Friday.

“I heard a loud crash, like a car coming through the house,” the man’s brother, Jeremy Bush, told CNN affiliate WFTS. “I heard my brother screaming and I ran back there and tried going inside his room, but my old lady turned the light on and all I seen was this big hole, a real big hole, and all I saw was his mattress.”

Bush frantically tried to rescue his brother, Jeff Bush, standing in the hole and digging at the rubble with a shovel until police arrived and pulled him out, saying the floor was still collapsing.

“I thought I heard him holler for me to help him,” the man tearfully told WFTS.

Jeremy Bush and four other people, including a 2-year-old child, escaped from the blue, one story 1970s-era home in Brandon, Florida, a Tampa suburb.

The man was presumed dead after monitoring equipment lowered by engineers detected no signs of life, said Jessica Damico, the Hillsborough County Fire Department spokeswoman.

But rescuers can’t go into the hole to check — it’s too dangerous, Fire Chief Ron Rogers told reporters Friday. Authorities say they worry the hole is still spreading and the house could collapse at any time.

The sinkhole is about 20 feet to 30 feet (6 to 9 meters) across and may be 30 feet deep, said Bill Bracken, president of the engineering company assisting emergency workers. The hole was originally reported to be 100 feet across, but that is the diameter of the safety zone surrounding it, Bracken said.

“It started in the bedroom, and it has been expanding outward and it’s taking the house with it as it opens up,” he said.

Nearby homes have been evacuated as a precaution, Rogers said.

Damico said about 40 police and firefighters were standing by at the scene Friday morning. Meanwhile, engineers with more sophisticated equipment hope to get a three-dimensional image of the sinkhole.

Family members were also on hand, waiting out what they fear will be a devastating day.

“I know in my heart he’s dead,” Jeremy Bush said. “But I just want to be here for him, because I love him, he was my brother, man.”

Sinkholes are common in Florida, according to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The state lies on bedrock made of limestone or other carbonate rock that can be eaten away by acidic groundwater, forming voids that collapse when the rock can no longer support the weight of what’s above it.

So Florida is the gate to Hell?

I never thought about it, but somehow I'm not surprised.

You'll remember that the Bremuda Triangle is right around there, but since some people can't afford boats I guess a sink hole in the next best thing.

I bow to the experts and their finely honed sense of dissertation in seeing proper judgement here as I would have blamed the instance on Obama and his inability to repair America's crumbling infrastructure. In a way I guess it is still Obama's fault as I am sure mercy would have been given to the state of Florida if they had only voted Republican.

That poor man!

May he be with Jesus now - his family will need that comfort. We don't know whether or not he was a sinner and he may have been one of those going to heaven.

Please point out, where in the Bible, someone who isn't a Hell bound sinner gets swallowed by the earth.

Exodus 15:11-12 (regarding Pharaoh's chariots) Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.

Numbers 16:28-33 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind. If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the Lord hath not sent me. But if the Lord make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the Lord. And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them: And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.
