Abstract
In early May of 1981 Mae Rose Owens was walking her dog when to her surprise a tree in her yard suddenly disappeared. She quickly called Winter Park emergency services to report the incident. Within the span of three days a 350 foot hole opened up in the ground, swallowing several properties and causing millions of dollars in damage while an international media spectacle descended upon the town. Public reaction was one of curiosity instead of fright, and onlookers traveled by the droves to watch the slowly developing sinkhole. Most people were fairly unaware of what a sinkhole was and found themselves gaining an education. Profiteers set up shop at the location as a carnival-like atmosphere developed. At the same time, many found that the sinkhole only reinforced a period of anxiety that was currently running through the country.
