I don't have pics unfortunately, but there is an enormous scary looking sinkhole where the whole side of the road has washed off. They put cones on the lane next to it, but it looks like it could still give way if they don't prop it up somehow.

There's a bridge near me that is closed long-term also for too much soil washing off.

Those of you having droughts are welcome to have some of this water.
