Beware of sinkholes at beach

[Vikingblood]

I was swinging in LbI nj yesterday and started following a channel that was holding water further up when I stepped into it I dropped right down and found myself chest high in sand and nearly crapped myself. There was no one around, I got out ok but it took about 10 minutes to get out with my boots. I could have gotten out quicker if I wanted to leave my boots down there.

Fwew that was close

Watch out

Any time your out alone you need to be careful. This just happened in Indiana at the dunes to a little boy who was buried for hours.

Don't laugh! One of my neighbors had a winter home near Clearwater. A few months ago, they went down to clean it up to get it ready to sell. It was almost 3 foot lower than is was 90 days before. They didn't have flood insurance, and for all practical purposes, the home is a total loss!
