NEWCASTLE, CA - Imagine waking up and finding your backyard completely engulfed by a sinkhole.
According to KCRA.com , that is exactly what happened to Mark Korb.
He woke up to find the pond in his Newcastle, Calif. backyard completely drained of water in a matter of hours. The last time he drained his pond it took him seven days.
Korb said his pond now resembles the surface of the moon.
Two weeks ago, a sinkhole in Florida swallowed a man while inside his home. Friends and family held a memorial for the man on Tuesday after he was presumed dead earlier this month.
