I'd hardly call it nature. Its because of man made situations.

Quote:
In this clip shot yesterday by members of the Assumption Parish Office of Emergency Preparedness in Louisiana, an entire stand of trees is suddenly swallowed by an underwater sinkhole above a collapsing salt mine. The sinkhole is part of an ongoing environmental disaster in Bayou Corne, and efforts are underway to prevent it from spreading, however it has already forced the evacuation of an entire town. (via Stellar)

This sort of stuff, may I add, is also being investigated by various groups with regards to the consequences of 'fracking'.

That was just a minor collapse along the side of a 'kin big hole formed by a salt dome collapse. As more of the salt is dissolved by surface water the hole will grow some more and there will be more slips like that around the edge.

YouTube Video
Error: If you cannot see this video, then either YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed to play it.

very boring video but plumbing the depths of sinkholes is scary. Don't bother listening for a depth mentioned though, 750 feet is listed on google though.
