Map: The 159 sinkholes that have opened up in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania

As I continually research Earth Changes on a Daily Basis for decades now…I am always stunned by the number of people who still do not look much past their noses….to see what drastic changes are happening in the World Around them.  We MUST all be Proactive, as we CALMLY PROPERLY Prepare…Not Just for Political Change, Nuclear War, or the Financial Collapse, but the ever intensifying Major Earth Changes that continue to rapidly escalate Worldwide…What I call, ‘A Symphony of Event’s’, Not just one, we MUST Prepare for. Turning a ‘Blind Eye’, at this time, is to rely on a fantasy world.

Please, Take a look at just ONE such major anomaly near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.   Take Note-  A.L.

While engineers and geological experts try to figure out why a giant crater opened up in the parking lot of Tanger Outlets along Route 30 in East Lampeter Township last weekend, swallowing a bunch of cars, we figured it’s probably a good time to discuss two important things:

1.) About two-thirds of Lancaster County is susceptible to sinkhole development, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. That’s because there are large swaths of the county where limestone and dolomite are present at the surface of our land.

“These rocks are more easily dissolved than other rocks by a weak, natural acid formed by the mixture of water and carbon dioxide,” according to the agency. “The dissolving process is enhanced along the many fractures found within the bedrock, and over time this has created a unique subsurface plumbing network.”

2.) That brings us to the obvious point: Sinkholes, or their undeveloped cousins, surface depressions, are very common here. In fact, state records show Lancaster County alone has experienced at least 159 sinkholes and has hundreds of what it calls “surface depressions.” Among those surface depressions are areas in and around Tanger Outlets, according to DCNR data.

Sinkholes, of course, are surface depressions that have broken open to create a “void space in the soil (or rock),” according to DCNR. In some cases, surface water or stormwater runoff can be seen is disappearing into the hole.

So where are the sinkholes and surface depressions in Lancaster County?
