I hate the Sea because as AndrewB pointed out It can be very angry LoL and it will try to kill you if you arent careful. It is ironic that the victim was from la Jolla.
I got pinned to the bottom, body surfing once up there and was really getting panicky that it wasnt going to let me up in time.

I taunted it often when I was young.

He is now tied with the moron at the Texas Rangers game. I gotta give the edge to the Rangers dude though, because at least there is a fund set up for his family and his son will get lots of cool Josh Hamilton signed gear.

In Idaho blow holes are holes that can blow air out or suck it. My introduction was the guy my husband was working for demonstrating with an expensive Stetson hat. He put it over the outblowing air saying see- it won’t fall.

About that time the air started sucking in and the Stetson went with it. That was the end of the demonstration as well as the Stetson .

Remembering there is a huge amount of underground structure that carries over from Yellowstone Park which is riddled with underground caverns etc. Some always blow out, some always blow in and some are AC/DC. This was in southern Idaho.

Prayers for his family. I am sure they are pretty much devastated and don’t look upon this as a comic event.

And what would happen to the coconuts?

The force would propel them 50-100 feet in the air, falling back smashing on the rocks. Kids would gather them and reinsert, from a safe distance of course. We would do this for what seemed like hours, great family fun.
