Default real life sci fi

as i sit in the house listening to thunder i'm forced to get deep into the net...and lookee what i found....a lake disappeared...anyone know how this coulda happened?
its like an x-file...how does the water vanish so quick that the ice that used to float on it is still sitting unmelted at the bottom?

sounds to me the aquifer reclaimed some water. my guess would be a sinkhole, or something similar. i'd bet it opened up and sucked the water down.

sinkhole? thats just as interestin....then there could be a cave that hollow and deep that it could swallow an entire lake....hmmmmm i wonder who or what would live down there...of course...isnt 75% of the earth covered in water and 80% of that water unexplored...could be lots of stuff in the deep blue sea

haha, ya'll are freakin' hilarious some times..anywho...when ya think about it, it's a wonder that we don't have more sinkholes then we do now. look at a big city, ex tampa, orlando, etc. all the ppl in those cities, drinking water, watering lawns, showering, shitting, etc. only a very small amt. actually gets back into the aquifer in those areas, leaving the water table in these places down, drinking water comes from the ground, in underground "caverns" i suppose you could call them. when there's little water in them, there's nothing to support the weight of the building, road, etc, that is above it, get a lil rain to loosin' up the soil, and boom, down it goes. ok, times up, ur all educated on sinkholes!
