Sinkhole in Florida? Illinois

I heard about the sinkhole in Florida... I was just wondering the odds of one in Illinois :/
It kind of scared me

Your odds are almost none. Illinois pavement is concrete or granite or asphault. Majority of ground in Florida is limestone under housing. It is weaker and tends to give way quite often. Thus creating a sinkhole. You are fine. :)

Great, more yahoo fluff, rather than anything with a foundation in reality. To anyone looking in by chance, this is the norm here. Visit consumer protection orgs for more info.

There are some in Pere Marquette State Park that Iv seen.
Lot of limestone/dolomite along Mississippi river drainage,
that would be most conducive to them forming.
