Sinkhole Formed During A Flood

I can't believe I watched the entire 7+ minute video and found myself disappointed that it ended! That was incredible. The flush of a lifetime...

I would have to say, thats a whole lot more than 5 Gallons a second! with the way the current is moving from multiple directions, its more like 500+ gal/s.

That is really freaky but I would love to know where it all ends up.

It looks like somebody opened up a drain hole in a shallow reservoir.

Very interesting and cool regardless of what it is. I enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.

They both swallow? Water, that is.

Wow that thing was like a wild animal devouring its prey

100% an overflow drain like they have in dams. If it was natural it would widen with erosion if you use some logic.

THAT was amazing....and hypnotic.

Someone pulled the plug, I guess. I really don't see how that could be a drain...no drain would ever handle a flow rate of that extent and capacity, it would be long overflowed and plugged up. Plus, keep in mind that this is a flood. So, water would not normally be there, so neither would a drain. It looks to be in the middle of a field off the main body of water (shown a couple of times when the camera pans up).

I certainly wouldn't have been standing next to it!

Great thread..The video was amazing the guys doing the video were taking a huge chance being so close to that whirlpool the ground could have gave way ..I watched the video twice i was totally mesmerized by it..peace,sugarcookie1

The guys are lucky the ground below them didn't collapse. They were toying with death. I asked them for the coordinates on the youtube video. I'd like to see what the lake/river looked like before this event.

This is kinda how I feel and some... That was shocking and almost a bit disturbing to me in an uneasy and wtf?! way.
So how come there isn't any further info if this video was posted on the 18th?
I see that its posted that this was during a flood so has the natural garbage disposal drained all the excess water? Is it still sucking up everything in its path like a black hole? What was found in the ground if/when the water receded?
Yeah, unsettling to say the least...

A bit mesmerizing....


I don't think I'd have wanted to be that close...

S&F for that video. I watched the whole thing. I've never seen anything like it.

Creepy is right. I'd like to see the size of that sinkhole.

Is it me or are more and more sinkholes appearing?

I'd love to know where it all ends up.

Hope it isn't linked to CERN and mini blackholes!!

These sink holes are getting scary.
Imagine if you fell through a massive one now and no one can save ya. Then you get trapped under a pile a rubble and no one can hear your yells for help. Holy # panic attacks are happening

This is a rural setting in a low tech country. Still incredible to watch.

While it may be a rural setting, I wouldn't categorize Latvia as a low-tech country.

Latvia ranks 14th in internet download speed and 7th in upload speed out of 182 countries. Riga, the capital, ranks 16th and 17th in those two categories.

By comparison, the USA ranks 32nd and 37th respectively with no city breaking into the top 20 in the world.

Ever hear the saying, "Digging a hole to China?" That's what we called it when digging in the beach sand ever-so deep for hours! Could that be an aquatic Black Hole to China? Whatever lurks underneath, sure has a ravenous appetite!

Two words that come to my mind: Inner Earth.

The rain supply for such a thing!

S&F Amazing find OP. Incredible. Things are happening all over the world. But it's nice to see something NOT involving terror attacks, and bombs.
