A sinkhole opened up on the street in front of President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort on Monday, sparking an advisory from local officials.

The town of Palm Beach, Fla. reported the sinkhole on its website. The 4-foot-by-4-foot sinkhole formed on Southern Boulevard directly in front of Mar-a-Lago. The town says utility crews will likely do exploratory excavation on Monday to determine the cause of the sinkhole, which opened near a newly installed water main.

Twitter users quickly mocked the news of the sinkhole.
