A significant sinkhole has disrupted the lives of a couple in Shippensburg, forcing them from their residence at 17 South Queen Street. The sinkhole, which measures approximately 50 feet in diameter, necessitated an immediate evacuation of the property.
The couple’s landlord promptly arranged for temporary accommodation, securing a hotel room for them on the night of the evacuation. However, attempts to retrieve personal items from their home were halted due to ongoing safety concerns posed by the structural damage.
In response to the ongoing disruption, the hotel has offered to extend the couple’s stay for an additional night free of charge. Meanwhile, the couple is exploring long-term solutions as they navigate the challenges posed by this unexpected event.
