Customers at an IHOP in Meridien, Mississippi were left with a sinking feeling this weekend. Unlike most visits to IHOP, though, this sinking feeling wasn't due to the Rooty Tooty Fresh N' Fruity breakfast foods they'd just ingested, but because their cars all fell into a giant hole. 

After an exceptionally rainy couple of weeks (nearly 10 inches in 14 days, and 3 over the weekend), the ground beneath the pancake restaurant's parking lot gave way, creating a massive sinkhole. Much like a customer would unlock his jaw to eat an entire T-bone steak, 3 eggs, and 3 pancakes in one sitting, the asphalt caved, swallowing 15 cars into a 50-foot hole. Fortunately, no one was harmed when the cars fell because they were all unoccupied. No word on any internal injuries sustained by any customers enjoying Bananas Foster Brioche French Toast.
