I wonder if someone pinched the lake to make a launch site.
Found on MSN.
WILDWOOD, Mo. - To folks around Wildwood, it is nothing but freaky: an entire 23-acre lake vanished in a matter of days, as if someone pulled the plug on a bathtub.
Lake Chesterfield went down a sinkhole this week, leaving homeowners in this affluent St. Louis suburb wondering if their property values disappeared along with their lakeside views.
Its real creepy, said Donna Ripp, who lives near what had been Lake Chesterfield. That lake was 23 acres no small lake. And to wake up one morning, drive by and its gone?
What once was an oasis for waterfowl and sailboats was nothing but a muddy, cracked pit outlined by rotting fish.
The sight had 74-year-old George English scratching his head.
Its disheartening, getting out on your deck and seeing this, he said as he stood next to wife, Betty, and the lakeside condominium they bought in 1996 for its view. One day its a beautiful lake, and now, bingo, its gone.
