Inocenta Hernandez, heard a loud noise thinking it was a gas canister from a neighboring home that had exploded.
But what she discovered, was a 40 feet deep sinkhole under her bed.
Hernandez said that officials from the National Coordinator for Disaster Reduction, the Municipal Water Company and agents of the National civilian Police have visited her home, and recommended asking the municipality for assistance.
Sinkholes are actually more common than you actually think, particularly in this area of Guatemala city, since it was built on volcanic deposits.
