In Herrin Illinois three homes sank deeper after an abandoned coal mine collapse. Two houses dropped about three feet within hours while police evacuated six homes overnight. Residents were allowed to return for all but two as crews shore up the area and drain water from a nearby tower amid a widening gash in the ground.
