TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. (AP) — About 20 residents in six homes at a mobile home park along Florida's Gulf Coast were evacuated Wednesday after a 60-foot-wide, 35-foot-deep hole opened in the ground.

The residents at the Tarpon Shores Mobile Home Park in Tarpon Springs were taken to the park's nearby clubhouse as a precaution while officials took a closer look at the hole, said city spokeswoman Judy Staley.

The Tampa Bay Times (http://bit.ly/1RqMKAf ) reported that authorities were investigating if a water line break was responsible or if the deep hole was a naturally occurring sinkhole.

Dave Haver was in his backyard workshop when the hole opened up. He said he heard crunching and cracking, and about 20 feet of his white fence disappeared.
