  CBS News  - A giant sinkhole about 100 feet wide and 50 feet deep has forced two Windermere, Fla. families to leave their homes.The sinkhole began opening up at 7 a.m. Thursday near a residence that a family of six had been renting, according to CBS affiliate WKMG in Orlando, Fla. The Orange County Building Department helped the two adults and four children move as many of their personal belongings as possible and relocated them to relatives  homes for temporary housing.

The hole has already consumed four trees and a hammock, and a fifth tree is teetering at the edge. The bottom of the sinkhole is filled with ground water.        The owner of the first home is in California, and is watching the process on TV.
