1 Thessalonians 4:15-18

   For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.  For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord.  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.     

​​​​​​​2 Timothy 4:7-8
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing .

Large Sinkhole Started As Dip In Road

High Water Table Proves Problematic

*

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa --- The high water table continues to cause problems in Council Bluffs, including the potential for sinkholes. One sinkhole between 6th and 7th avenues started as just a dip in the road, but now it's 20 feet wide and at least 10 feet deep. It is one of the largest, but it may not be an isolated incident in the weeks to come.

When Council Bluffs resident Everett Thiles left his home for an afternoon appointment, his driveway and the road were completely intact. However in the few hours he was gone, all of that changed.

"It was all fine, then come back at 5:30 and we have about a six-inch drop, but very noticeable -- it's been dropping ever since," Thiles said.

This sinkhole now spans the entire width of 26th Street. It started to destroy some of Thiles' driveway as well. The collapse of a sewer is to blame for the massive sinkhole.

"Well, about a week ago we had a sanitary sewer collapse in this location," director of community development, Don Gross, said.

This sinkhole is not the first to plague Council Bluffs residents. Gross faults high ground water tables for the recurrence.

"When the water table is high it surrounds these pipes underground and that water seeks out cracks," Gross said.

This process eventually creates a cavity underground, leading to a collapse. As long as the water remains high there's a chance residents will see more sinkholes.

"We do anticipate to see more of it. I can't say that we're going to see 20 or 10, but we've had eight sewer collapses so far," Gross said.

The city is already arranging repairs on the sinkhole, but in the meantime, neighbors plan to keep a close eye on it.

"It concerns me, but doesn't really scare me. Can't mess with nature," Thiles said.

Repairs for the large sinkhole should run about $217,000, and the city hopes to begin restoration soon. However, they are anticipating more sewer collapses in the near future.
