Ever wonder what it would be like if the ground opened up and swallowed a Sonic whole? Well the people of Cleveland, GA, almost got to see just that when much of their local fast food joint — along with the parking lot of the neighboring car wash — sunk several feet into the earth earlier this week.

Amazingly, no one was hurt when the sinkhole, blamed on recent heavy rainfall in the area, opened up. The employees and customers were able to get out and the Sonic’s manager even snapped some cellphone footage of the eatery’s front section sinking into the hole.
