SEE IT: ‘Sinkhole’ opens near Apopka Memorial Middle School

The City of Apopka reported on Wednesday a very large sinkhole that opened up after Hurricane Irma in the area behind Apopka Memorial Middle School.

City leaders posted it on Facebook, saying it's eating up a section of the West Orange Trail and it "appeared to be caused by storm water from Hurricane Irma."

News 96.5 WDBO send up a chopper to check it out.  The hole appears to be a drainage ditch that was eroded further, rather than a sinkhole.

The ditch or sinkhole is specifically located north of Votaw Road and south of McCoy Village Court.

Residents are urged to stay away from the immediate area.
