Description
Episode 8, Part 2 of RICHES Podcast Documentaries: The Winter Park Sinkhole: The Effects and Aftermath. RICHES Podcast Documentaries are short form narrative documentaries that explore Central Florida history and are locally produced. These podcasts can involve the participation or cooperation of local area partners.
Episode 8 examines the sinkhole that occurred from May 8 to May 10, 1981 in Winter Park, Florida, as well as the effects and aftermath. After three days, the sinkhole grew to 350 feet and caused millions of dollars in damage. The sinkhole began filling with water that summer and eventually engineers filled the bottom with dirt and concert to stabilize the sinkhole. A lake formed in its place and was named Lake Rose in honor of Mae Rose Williams (née Owens), the woman who discovered the sinkhole. This podcast includes interviews with local business owners Darryl Donkel, Alan Duckworth, and Dennis W. Phillips, and an interview with Dr. Frank Kujawa of the University of Central Florida.
