Nobody expects a giant hole in the ground to suddenly eat your house, just like nobody expected a storm to cause one. Well, Agatha swept over Guatemala killing at least 180.
It's just that stuff of this magnitude is unprecedented. The hole didn't kill anybody, neither did the collapsing building, as at that place there was a clothing manufacturer and the city had been evacuated at least partly. But regardless, that's one whole intersection missing.
AP has more on this, including the usual video of some poor sod trudging through flowing mud (collected here on the USA Today site) http://www.usatoday.com/weather/storms/2010-05-30-first-tropical-storm-agatha_N.htm?csp=34
The video behind that link wouldn't be worth it, but you can see people trying to save their sofa from knee-high mud. I shouldn't laugh, but that is a case of missing priorities, made more funny that there is a news reporter filming it. If it wasn't so hypocritical he should perhaps tell them to do something more useful. And here I am calling him useless...
