DOZENS of families have had to be evauated from their estate after a 50ft sinkhole opened up in the road.
The vast crater caved in just feet from one home's front door in the wake of Storm Bert.
Around 30 homes have been cleared out in Merthyr, South Wales today due to the hole.
The area had only just recovered from the devastation of Storm Bert, which brought 75mph winds and widespread flooding.
But it has since seen more heavy rain, which may have contributed to the loosening of the earth beneath the road.
Images from the scene show the cavernous hole extending from almost the centre of a residential road, all the way across the pavement and across about half of where one homeowner's driveway used to be.
