Gary and Ellen Miller had a rude awakening on the morning of Tuesday, September 19, when a sinkhole formed in the Apopka couple’s backyard.

On Monday, September 18, at about 6 p.m., the Millers noticed something strange going on with a sidewalk leading into the back of their house on Kelly Park Road in Apopka.

By early morning of Tuesday, September 19, they had to get out of the house because a sinkhole was forming.

As of early afternoon on Tuesday, the sinkhole was an estimated 20 feet deep and about 25 feet wide.

No one was injured.
