Miami condo collapse: Woman told husband on phone she saw pool cave in before building fell, report says
A woman missing in the deadly Florida condo building collapse called her husband as the tragedy unfolded — and said she saw a sinkhole where the pool used to be before the line went dead, according to a new report.
"It was 1:30 a.m., I’ll never, never forget that," Mike Stratton, husband of Cassie Stratton, 40, told the Miami Herald.
The model, actress and Pilates instructor woke her husband in Washington, D.C. and frantically told him that their building was shaking before making the startling comments about a sinkhole, according to the outlet.

From the comments:
I watched a documentary on the caves and caverns under Florida a couple of years ago on the History channel. Two divers (with cameras) entered the caves via a small pond. Two "trackers" monitored their path from above ground. They traced these caves for a couple of miles. Parts of the cave ran directly under people's houses. To not lose tract of the divers, the trackers had to actually walk through one man's house. The homeowner was willing to let them walk through and was ready to sell his house when they explained the "caves". These "caves" were large enough for two men in complete diving gear to easily swim through. It was a large cave system under Florida just waiting to cave in and cause sinkholes. It was disturbing to watch. Made me never want to move to Florida.
