Sinkholes in West-central Florida, Freeze Event of 2010

A section of a strawberry field that was destroyed by a sinkhole and filled in, as is done with many sinkholes if possible.

More than 110 sinkholes formed in the Dover area of Florida during a freeze event in January 2010. Ground water levels dropped to record-setting lows as farmers pumped water to irrigate their plants for protection from the cold temperatures. The sinkholes destroyed homes, roads and sections of cultivated areas.
