A 90-foot-wide sinkhole that opened up in Dunedin, Fla., early Thursday appears to have finally stopped growing — but not before it destroyed two homes beyond repair.

Authorities planned to start razing the two houses Friday morning after the 56-foot-deep sinkhole swallowed a screened-in porch and a 14-foot-long boat at one property and the master bedroom, a swimming pool and a garage at the second.

"They're going to start demolishing the houses. We're sending them to a recycling location where [the homeowners are] going to try to get some personal belongings out of the houses, anything they can salvage," said Dunedin Fire Chief Jeff Parks.

The sinkhole finally stopped expanding Friday morning, Parks said, but the entire area around it was unstable.
