Quick, we've only got three days to run away!
I just saw an old episode of The Simpsons in which Homer, wanting to taste the forbidden wedding cake before the wedding has even begun, inserts a straw into the cake and begins to suck. Then, he's had his fill, covers the small hole with an icing rosette, and walks away -- and then the cake collapses in on itself.
Apparently, the nation's SUVs have performed this function on a small Texas town. It took me a couple seconds to process that this was a literal, not a metaphorical sinkhole (sorry, Texas):
Regulators Monitor Massive Sinkhole in Southeast Texas Town
Beware the evil sinkhole, swallowing up homes, plows that have fallen out of favor, and very slow-moving people who have no faster-moving people who care about them.

Maybe we could get some kind of relief effort going for those poor folks. I vote a Queen cover band to play "Bicycle Race" over and over, 8 hours a day in the town square. The stage could be adjacent to concessions--hot dog stand, funnel cakes, etc. Although the townfolk might be offended with the line, "Fat bottomed girls they'll be riding today..." This is a bad idea and perhaps an equally bad comment, but a fella can dream.
