A sinkhole opened the backyard of a home in Dunedin, Fla., on Thursday.

WTSP reports the family that lives in the home was safely evacuated. About a half dozen other nearby residences were also evacuated.

Images captured by the station show a large depression in a yard that has partially swallowed a boat.

According to the Associated Press, a patio has also partially collapsed into the hole, and a nearby pool appears to be structurally compromised.

The sinkhole was said to be 12 feet wide when authorities arrived at the scene, but WTSP reported it was 35 feet in diameter and 30 feet deep.

The latest world weather report, indicating the globe is on track to record one of its warmest years, should send a strong message to farmers to plan for climate adaptation, according to an expert in agriculture and climate change. The United Nation's World Meteorological Organisation is reporting 2013 is expected to rank among the top ten warmest years since modern weather records began in 1850. Blair Trewin, a climatologist with the Bureau of Meteorology says record hot temperatures in Australia have significantly contributed to the overall result.

"Australia was probably the most exceptional part of the world this year," Dr Trewin said. "The year so far in Australia has been the warmest on record by a fairly substantial margin. Up to the end of October we were running 0.24 of a degree ahead of the previous record year, which means that unless November and December are significantly cooler, 2013 will be Australia's warmest year on record."
