A huge sinkhole opened at a shopping center in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, swallowing six cars in the parking lot. 

The sinkhole happened at Tanger Outlets in East Lampeter Township. 

Luckily, no one was hurt, although a woman was in one of the vehicles during the collapse. 

She said it felt like an earthquake. 

A family member and a bystander helped pull her out of the passenger side of the vehicle. 

Officials will have to make sure the area is stable before the cars can be removed, according to East Lampeter Township Police.
