Back in, if I recall 1972, hurricane Agnes swept through the eastern side of
PA. I had just gotten transferred to a new position there and was trapped in
a Holiday Inn about a mile or two from Sunbury, PA. on the Susquehanna. No
heat, or electricity, but al least my wife and I had a place to stay. We
couldn't leave the place for 3 days. I shut the plant down early the first
day and sent everyone home. If I had stayed another hour or two at the
plant, the only route back to the hotel would have been flooded over and I
would have been stuck there eating food from vending machines for 3 days.
Yuch!!!

But back to the topic:
The flood waters caused numerous caskets to "float" to the surface. It was
quite a mess. Thunder is right, caskets can and do float away in floods for
sure.

Some of the old graveyards around here were on bluffs overlooking the
ocean. We've had cases where , over time and shoreline erosion, graves
have been washed away and remains exposed. Nasty business!
