Sinkhole creates new Florida lake: History of Lake Rose in Winter Park

- Winter Park, Florida is known for its beautiful homes, restaurants, and shops, but the city has a lot of natural gems as well. One example is Lake Rose, near the intersection of Fairbanks Ave. and S. Denning Dr. The lake can trace its beginnings to a massive sinkhole that opened up near the intersection 41 years ago

I remember that , I was working as a Deputy Sheriff when the news about the sinkhole came out. A lot of smaller lakes in the area started as sinkholes. Every time I see a smaller lake that's fairly round I wounder if it started that way. See several others over the years , I have been here since 1944.

what system , if she didn't have insurance , just tough , no one was at fault here but the earth .
She's long gone. Just move along sir. Nothing to see here.
It was a mobile home she could have just moved🤡
@@moneymanifestation9505 not really "mobile homes' means it has wheels or can be moved but in reaility it would damage the home and needs specail equipment sometimes people buy it cause it cheaper and their a loop whole for taxes
@@jonesy4588 ... Not even close to true. Florida has a vast network of natural, water filled caves. The water in the cave networks keeps pressure on the cave walls. Evil corporations like nestle have been draining millions of gallons per day for decades and only pay a $65 a mo land lease and $0 for our water that they sell to us. No pressure on the walls, caves collapse and, it's only going to get worse.
Cant believe its been that many years. My brother Phillip was employed by the Jamal's starting his early career as a Civil Engineer. Many discussion's about sinkholes and the Geo technical aspects of Florida became popular at our house. Lots of Engineers came to Florida to see this phenomenon.
how the years fly. live every day to its fullest people, it just keeps speeding up
I was about 4 years old and lived a few blocks away on Balch Ave. I remember standing at the barricade looking at the debris in the water. there was a beach ball floating in the sink hole after it happened.
I was nearly 6 years old and what I remember most is the big clay boulders that would just randomly break off and roll down the sides to disappear below…it was impressive to say the least!
What no one tells you is that it's a breeding ground for mosquitoes like the kind only Florida can make... it's NASTY to be around that stagnant water. And calling it a lake is just absurd. It's a puddle/pond/swimming... more like a cesspool since it's so stagnant and nasty!
you clearly havent seen alaskan mosquitos. they will take your wallet and keys, and laugh at you. i lived in florida for 17 years and not a single retention pond or lake, even man made, was an issue. its a bigger issue with backyard swimming pools of lazy homeowners that dont keep it clean. sinkholes are totally natural. its earth rebuilding itself beneath our feet.
It needs a circulation pump or some fountains scattered about...
I traded snow plows for mosquitoes trucks. No radgrets.
Called bats! Best mosquito control ever. Idiot for an engineer.
Add some of those little free for the asking mosquito gobbling fish the watch the magic happen.
Lakefront property? Lady thats a pond
No way, Kool-Aid Man. That's a damn puddle. A big puddle. Oh yeah.
Just ask any realtor, that's Waterfront and they're going to charge more for it!
Smelly and brown 🤢
Why do people think that California is going to sink in the ocean, when clearly Florida is going 1st?
We dont think California is sinking we hope it is. Biiig difference
As someone who lives in California, we are sinking, morally speaking. Now Florida is a turd nature is slowly flushing away 1 sinkhole at a time.
California actually separates from the US at wild rate
Because of all the people leaving cali the nations most beautiful shithole
just because florida sinks first does not mean California will not sink as well..
Sinkholes are some of the scariest natural disasters. Reminds you that you are not safe anywhere, not even on what seems like solid land lol. It's crazy. I'm glad no one died back then when this happened
Can't help but feel I've been clicked baited. The video looked as if something recently happened, instead I'm watching a video of something that happened 40 years ago.
Congratulations you are one of the few that paid attention... while everybody else think it happened yesterday.

I always get a little uncomfortable walking around newly formed ones because you were just walking on that spot yesterday and today it sunk! Like which way do you run if it happens to sink right at the moment your on it!?Scary!!! Watching the Oleno river disappear underground at the speed it does , you wonder there aren’t more sinkholes!
Giant underground caverns filled or filling with water. For all we know maybe even underground seas with strange lifeforms in them. Way underground. Wouldn't that be vierd?
Fun fact: right smack in the middle of Walt Disney World's main parking lot, is a large sinkhole. They just built the lot around it, and never developed that part of the land.
Don’t park in Walt’s main lot…✅
Same with EPCOT
@@sifakalemur4162 Epcot's parking lot has a creek running through it!
@@joho0 and the Odyssey was built on a sink hole, more or less
Epcot yes.. parking lot NO. There is no sinkhole or was one in the parking lot at magic kingdom. It was a wetland/marsh area they covered up during construction and is now leveled off. WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR FACTS?
Whatever happened to Mae Rose Williams whose house was destroyed by the sinkhole? Did she survive? Was she ever relocated? What happened to her?
41 years ago.
Mrs. Owens said she still misses the old house and her possessions.
″I had been there for 40-some years. ... I try not to even go that way if I can help it.″
Residents of this Orlando suburb quickly began a fund, and with the help of insurance and $15,000 in donations, Mrs. Owens soon moved into a new home.
″Since the memories are fading, I would like for it to fade,″ she said. ″Every time you dig it up, that just makes it fresh.″
This interview was in 1986 when Mrs. Mae Rose (Owens)Williams was 72 years old.
@@one4truth236 what a shame. I’m sad that she has not healed even after so much time has passed but I’m also sad that she doesn’t want to talk about it because she could educate many others about the reality of dealing with the consequences of it. People need to know since a big part of the fear stems from not knowing. There are important take-aways like listen for unusual sounds and don’t ignore them and wet periods following extreme dry periods are the time to be most aware.
Sadly...

My grandparents lived not too far from the sinkhole. This was a hot topic for many years! While I was too young to remember the specifics (3 years old) my grandparents and aunts spoke of it often. A few family members witnessed some of the luxury cars disappear. A part of Winter Parks history, that I think of when I drive by this area.
How nasty is the water? Or does fishing occur on the banks?
Didn't another luxury car place sink into another sinkhole like 10 or 15 years later a large collection of Corvettes or something
The sinkholes want some nice cars I guess

Florida reclaiming it's swampland.
Yup. Earths overpopulated the land can’t take the weight of 21 million people and all their buildings in an area that’s been falling into the oceans since the beginning of time lol
who would thought
I was a tourist driving around Florida and heard this on the radio as it happened. Took a detour and had a look.
There are fish in there. Some decent size bass. Definitely deep. Made a mistake of letting my crankbait drop to the bottom. Took a while to reach the bottom. I think i snagged a porshe. Broke the line.
It didn’t swallow a Porsche. That’s just what the owner or employee of the dealership said about that nice Porsche sitting in his garage.
How did fish end up there
@@melonie_peppers they can migrate during heavy rain and flooding, people dumping in there or bird drops one in there.
I'm still just trying to wrap my head around the fact there's a town in Florida called Winter Park
Also winter garden...winter springs..winter haven and others
Half of Florida is retired New Yorkers, FYI.
Would you like to wait in the sitting room or sit in the waiting room, drive on the parkway and park in the driveway? WTF with screwey English? The town of Hells Bells!
Probably named after the space aliens. Or named by them.
I remember the day that sink hoke opened up and ate the house. I can’t believe it was 41 years ago.
Realtors upscaling the area by claiming it a lake $$$$
That father/daughter photo is beautiful!
What a touching story. The Soft pretty music.... Kinda makes me want a sink hole of my own.
That's no Lake, that's the Winter Park sink hole in the hood.
Lol
What size defines a lake?
That isnt a lake.
I grew up in Titusville at that time and my grandfather lived in Winter Park. We went by there after it happened. Last I knew, all the Porches from that shop that went in are still down there.
"I got to see my father reassuring people when he wasn't sure", she makes it sound like lying to people is a good thing
Yeah, that’s a really hazardous and libelous approach to public safety
sounds like dr fouchee and the byedone administration
My boss does it better
I'd be concerned living there; planning to move in a hurry!
Florida had 1,000 insurance claims a day for sinkholes.
This was twenty years ago
Sinkholes are so scary….. terrifying thought to be a victim of one
I was at that lake when I was a teen like 20yrs ago, folks used to go to one of the shops and my cousin and I would go down to the like. I had no idea!
These sink holes are showing up everywhere around the globe. Its like a new trend.
Any links, I'd like to research it.
Gators, giant snakes, ridiculous heat and humidity and if that isn't enough; sinkholes. Welcome to Florida, the sunshine state y'all! 😂😂
“Arrive stoned”

Um I'll pass. California is weird enough but not that weird.
Mexico gets alot of sinkholes, u know sinkhole de mayo right lol
Florida is like a big island..
I'm surprised you can dig one foot.
I just finished reading and 1830s book from James Lowry Donaldson, who discussed how unstable the ground of Florida was and how sinkholes just randomly appears..... YET, the idols we worship sold the land and told everyone the American Dream could be found.
So.... Almost 200 years and the holes still appear, but as long as there is shopping - have no fear!!!!
You say all that as if its your proof of the badness of that state... but this event happened 40 years ago. It didn't happen last week. You got anything else you'd like to cover with your Blanket Statements?
@@suburbangardenpermaculture3117 how do you start and engineering firm with no engineering job experience? are they giving them out like candy?
Many states have areas of concern but that doesn’t mean the whole state should be condemned! Louisiana floods, California earthquakes, Kansas tornadoes, Montana (Yellowstone)landslides from flooding, Mississippi floods, etc…
I think you may have taken that book a bit too literally.
There might be gators in there too
i see a terrible disaster at some point in the future happening between the 2 large lakes, 0:22 im betting that sink hole is only the beginning of the ground collapsing and washing out. who knows what the damage under the land looks like but eventually i can see more of those ponds like lake rose popping up around the near by houses
I wonder if the lake now has an inlet/outlet system or it's just a mass of stinky water.
Now as for the mosquitoes and frogs, perhaps some gators too...can't be fun living around there.
Give it a month or so and they'll find a gator in it lol 😆
Curious to know what was done to stabilize this one.....
Imagine if Death Valley just sunk one day after a heavy rain and we got a new Grand Canyon….
Nice images, now what if they joined at one point? And death valley filled with seawater via another huge crack. Instant inland sea. Lower California goes full tropical. Interesting.

There's another sinkhole that's further down Fairbanks hidden in a neighborhood.
I've been inside sinkholes that were wider, deeper, and longer.
As to those set aside for public use I recommend Bottomless
Lakes State Park in NM
I will have to look in to that.
One thing missing from the explanation about the cause of the sink hole is karst geology that underlies much of Florida. Karst is composed of limestone which is relatively easily eroded by water percolating/ flowing through especially after a heavy rain. Eventually the ground beneath the surface becomes so porous that it collapses under its own weight.
did this happen with those collapsed condos at surfside?
@@tammyfoster6223 I think Surfside was said to have been built with inferior steel..not 100% sure
Florida is a sink hole.
My first thought was, underground water flow from rain was washing away the limestone from underneath the land. They couldn't think of that?
Really interesting and well put together reporting; why can't more news be like this?
Edit: for punctuation.
so how on earth did they stabilize it
they didnt. earth reconstructs. this is how the florida region does it. thats all. up here in the north we dig until we hit the natural water table, and the lake fills itself, then we move to mine elsewhere. its just earth.
Over time, I’d wonder about the stability of the perimeter.
I hope the woman and her dog were fine...
I think filling it with dirt not water would have been the way of correcting it water will just make things worst over time I can only imagine the value of the home around it are worth nothing.
Wow, interesting story. How did she retire so young?
It turned into a beautiful park
So it’s a pond sized lake, ok
SO Cool.
How DEEP is that hole? That's what I want to know!!!
How deep is your love? I really mean to learn
Because we’re living in a world of fools
Bringing us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
I remember when this happened... I was in my late teens... we'd drive around and try to see what we could of the sinkhole, some of us even swan in the pool and would talk about what we would [do] if we owned one of those nice ass cars...
Same here...
It was nuts.. been bigger , just no cave writing to document.
I’m confused…..she said sink holes problem solved….how do you solve it ….????….it’s still a bigger sink hole filled with water !!!!
I remember seeing that as a kid was 9 and lived close
Well Floriduh is not all on solid ground, its mostly water logged sandy soil & the past 40 years have seen an influx of yankees retiring there so more homes & businesses are built on soft ground which means more are being swallowed up! RIP to that Porsche 911 Targa
This occurred 40 years ago...
@@ShainAndrews yup, thats what they stated! Its not far from where my relatives live!
Funny, I always noticed sinkholes formed after rain.
Some can also happen bc of dryness
@@dd4850 Sinkholes can happen at any time.
Was there eating lunch, ended up helping the Porsche dealer move cars. The sound was weird and the earth moved like a very slow whirlpool.
Notice the road breaking away squarely? Sorry I’m just wondering how it was made lol
Im a little confused. So was that her mother in the beginning whose house sunk?
Where did the water come from?
Garden hose
Ground water and rain.
It's Florida. Philadelphia USA
0:35 your boy just wanted a backyard lake for fishing.
I remember this happening! It made the National News.
"It just kept getting bigger"
That's what she said.
What a nice story.
wow. i remember this. i was time traveling and had stopped near by, then this happened
Fascinating story of terraforming natural disaster into a public park with a lake!
I hear everyone use the Termanology of leak can anyone define what a leak is , what a pond is , what a sinkhole is how can you define stagnant water as a lake ?
and a pond stagnant water isn’t a leak ,
running water can be define as a lake or a running stream 👍
I have family who bought property with a pond in front of the house or a pond behind there house and was told it’s a Lake I’m confuse stagnant water is not at Lake sinkhole stagnant water again it’s not a link it’s a pond 👌
The difference between a pond and a lake is a judgment call based on size. (A lake is larger than a pond). Rivers and streams have motion, lakes and ponds do not unless they are connected to a river or stream. They need to add some fountains in there to circulate the water.
You don't need to question anything. These people have no idea what a lake is. This is exactly what you think it is. I think this engineer is keeping quiet about a building problem. Her dad was there. I wonder if there's anyway building that area up caused this. Engineers would know. Is this really only possible naturally? She even said herself that's sinkholes like that don't usually happen so my guess is man interfered somehow and someone knows something. This whole story seems odd to me. If they call it a lake and put houses around it and trash an old lady's house to do it, who would know? It would drive up property values and they could stock it with fish and sell permits, collect taxes for upkeep around it, etc. She could have been in the way. It completely gave way while she happened not to be home too. Maybe she got lucky or maybe someone finished the job they started. I am no expert here. I just don't buy what this lady said at all and she made a weird comment about her dad imo when she said that he was telling people things when he didn't really know. I don't know, something just seems off to me. But yeah, no way in hell this is a lake. A huge puddle, maybe, a small bog or pond but I don't know. It's definitely a breeding ground for mosquitoes. That one is a definite. Not a place I would want to live.
I lived not far from there when that happened
"41 years ago"
Me thinking it's from the 60s...
"Back in May 1981"

You're marginalizing men. Not cool to be so openly non inclusive and sexist.
@@johnlockesghost5592 Ummm no. Marginalized would mean that mean make up less than 50% of the field. The field only has 27% women in it.

@@eafvg5 it’s not his fault, he’s just not good at statistics 😙😆
All those round lakes in that area were formed that `way.
sorry to inform you floridians...that is not a lake.it's a pond
We know. We have plenty of lakes and ponds. Too many to count. Most in the area call this "Rose Sink". I've never heard it called "Lake Rose", but who really cares when there are thousands of other bodies of water in central FL.
My Belief is that they are Rivers under the land when the water level drops the soil above will collapse.
Wait…there’s Porsche 911’s down there?!
Retired! Wow shes beautiful looks to young to be retired but maybe the sink hole business is good!
Nice history
It always blows my mind when they use a drone video and leave the sound of the propellers. Why even record sound?
That's why wells and septics go hand and hand in Florida and city government needs to be limited. Pulling the water from underground but not letting it flow back where it comes from is bank for utilities but a disaster waiting to happen for property owners
Lake "Used to be My Home"
Every time I go to FL i ask, "What's that smell?"
This is a perfect spot to looks for missing people..
1:37 Literally looks like a crater when a super hero falls to the ground or some anime fight has happened, but I am surprised it turned into a lake
If you're a local, this is the smoking spot, behind Austin's coffee
I hope LA gets alot of these... Maybe NYC too 😜
The day after it sank there was probably a bass tournament.
I need more information from Leila, is there an address to contact her?
I've heard that before!!
How deep is the lake/sinkhole today?
The stabilized sinkhole was 350' wife and 75' deep. Today it's probably 50-60 feet deep.
@@maxsdad538 wow!
So there was a leak in the swimming pool that slowly eroded the soil underneath causing a massive sink hole to form?
Yeah.. that's what happened....
nah, it was caused by the leaking Olympic sized swimming pool that was there before the sinkhole occurred. just like the small sinkhole in my backyard was caused by a leaking toilet pipe.
Florida has very unstable underground
And MANY unstable people
Nature always wins. Remember that.
Awhile back I heard about the genetically modified mosquitoes and they have released them, I would like to know where and when was it and how long will it take for them to change all mosquitoes to change them from being disease carrying disaster's.
It does not prevent mosquito's from carrying disease, instead it hinders their ability to reproduce.
Biotechnology company Oxitec has developed altered Aedes aegypti mosquitoes which have been genetically modified so that males, which do not bite, are released into the wild and mate with females, which do bite.
Their offspring, either male or female, never survive to reach maturity, according to the company. They were released in 2021 and 2022.
Oxitec head of global public affairs Meredith Fensom said while the EPA approval covers one Florida county and four in California and the release of more than 2billion genetically altered male mosquitoes across the states, the launch is planned to be much more limited - covering only the Florida Keys and expanding to Visalia in Tulare County, California.
If anything they will mutate into super spreaders
I've been bitten many times now. Even spraying myself with deet. He started in Sarasota and has worked his way up to Orlando.
