Days of Rain Leaves Two Massive Sinkholes in Rockingham County

This sinkhole on the well-traveled Highway 135 in Stoneville formed more than a week ago.

ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, N.C. -- Every day you have to get from home to somewhere, let's say work.

You have to take a road to get there, but in an instant that road was gone for some of your neighbors in the Triad.

There has been some cleanup progress, but there is still a long way to go.

"So I had to learn to just go in another direction to Walmart, to Madison, to the post office," said Anna Price who lives a few houses up from the sinkhole.

Price now faces a headache to get to Madison.

That's where she shops, drops off her mail, and spends a lot of her time.

Now she is having to learn some new ways to get where she's going.

"I had to learn what you call country roads! Haha...Walmart maybe two or three times a week," said Price.

"That's crazy. I never expected it to be that bad. So hopefully they'll get it up and running before school," said Ricky Nelson.

Nelson lives about three minutes from the sinkhole on Webb road, and had to see it for himself.

With the threat of more rain next week it has him worried.

"A little bit. You can already see where it's still kind of crumbling right here. Is it going to fall in even more before they get ahold of it," wonders Nelson.

Of course both Nelson and Price want the roads fixed, but most importantly they want them fixed the right way, so this doesn't happen again.

Officials tell WFMY News 2 the Webb Road sinkhole could take weeks to fix.
