Ron,
It is most likely lack of proper spacing and there wasn't enough room for expansion.

I am in South Florida and apparently, no one bothers to read the installation instructions. Especially the part about 1/2 inch or more spacing from walls/baseboards in high humidity conditions.

I went through three floors before the installers, and I use that term loosely, got it right!

That flooring is pretty durable. In fact, I have a piece of it in my back yard around some flowers. It has been there for six years and although it is starting to rot, it still retains its shape.
