Reader report: Avalon sinkhole?

Just in from Amanda on Avalon:

Amanda sent that photo along with this:

I live in an apartment on Avalon and around 11:35 pm a sink hole or something appeared in the street. Water was rushing down the street from the hole. I saw a huge puff of smoke appear but didn’t think much of it, just thought it was a car exhaust but then I saw all the water. The cops came and then some sort of utility truck is here now. Should be fun for the morning commute if they don’t get it fixed tonight.

This is on Avalon about halfway between 35th and Harbor Ave. We’ll check on it in a few hours.

    If we’re going to claim to be 24/7/365 … we better BE 24/7/365. So we do our darnedest. Sleep is so boring anyway.

Sorry, comment time is over.
