That happened downstate from here a few years ago, except that it was the guy's grandson who was playing in the hole.We had a Hurricane whilst living in Carolina. Two guys were out cutting wood up. Well it was getting dark one couldn't find the other so he left.
. Turns out the guy was standing behind the large root clump. So when it got cut the root clump lifted back up in to its hole killing and practically burying the other guy.
That's got to be a tough one to get over.
