(NECN/WSB: Cleveland, Georgia) - Heavy rains are blamed for a sinkhole that nearly swallowed part of a Sonic fast food restaurant -- and damage to a car wash.

Officials say thankfully, no one was injured in the washout.

The result of three inches or rain that came down within an hour's time Saturday

Instead of blaming three inches of rain, why don't they blame the people actually responsible for the event?

The geotechnical engineers, for example.

The area is in a mountain valley with lots of steep topography all around. Bet there was a considerable amount of fill there.

You're goddam right there is a considerable amount of fill there:
