Huge crack in the Earth in Texas

Massive Crack Opens In Earth In Texas
Some parts measure more than 30-feet deep and it drained what use to be a pond
By First Coast News Staff
CLAUDE, TX -- A massive crack in the earth opened up last week in Claude, Texas and its creating a stir among geologists.
Geologists said Tuesday the crack was a joint in the earth's crust. They believe the opening is the result of a weak point in the joint where one spot slips away from the other.
Some parts measure more than 30-feet deep and it drained what use to be a pond. Experts say earth cracks are common but the size of the crack in Claude is not.

Ok, I live in Houston, I watch the news, I recieve reports from a regional/local transit authortiy with pretty wide coverages and response responsabilities as far as disaster controls (both natural and man-caused). A man with exclusive advisory permission to the mayors of Houston and San Antonio has been a friend of the family since I was born. I have never heard of this phenomenon outside of firstcoastnews reports. I think we may just consider this a "Texas Sized Sinkhole." If anyone has ever heard of the Ogallala Aquifer, it runs right below this "Huge Crack". Natural Bridge Caverns outside of New Braunsfels formed roughly the same way. It boasts a large (and beautiful) cavern system found by a man who drove his tractor (unsuspectingly) right over a crack like this. I bet this blows over as another cavern system.
