The Most Terrifying Thing I’ve Seen Today

Sinkhole in Guatemala Walter Pena/AFP/Getty Images

I admit, it’s a little too early to make this call, but the above picture might be the most terrifying thing I’ve seen all YEAR, let alone just today, so I’m gonna go out on that proverbial limb. What. The Hell. Is Going. On.

Apparently, this sinkhole in Guatemala City ate an entire building over the weekend. In one gulp. It’s like me and a Chipotle burrito. Between this, that unpronounceable volcano and the oil spill (alright, that was man’s fault really) it’s getting too scary to go outside!

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of taking a drive down Meadow Lane in Southampton on a hot summer’s day, you’d know that it’s not the gigantic houses that take your breath away, but the ocean views and white sand of Coopers Beach (and you’d also know that the really best time to visit is September, but don’t tell anyone I said that, they’ll ruin it for the rest of us).
