A Sinkhole Is Growing on the White House Lawn
A sinkhole has formed on the White House and appears to be growing, according to reporters who observed the gap in the grassy ground.
The sinkhole was spotted on the White House's North Lawn, not far from the entrance to the briefing room, according to the Hill. Groundskeepers quickly surrounded the hole with cones and caution tape on Tuesday.
"Washington D.C. received measurable rain eight consecutive days through Saturday," said weather.com meteorologist Chris Dolce. "The total for that period of time was 6.14 inches, which is more than 2 inches greater than the average rainfall for the entire month."
Several White House reporters shared images of the sinkhole on social media.
