The ground looks like its breathing as strong wind causes trees to sway in ground saturated with water.

10. Rippin' roots, did they fall over? nt

11. Those roots must be quite shallow.

We live on the Virginia coast where 20yrs ago a big hurricane blew thru and up-rooted 2 huge 70' trees of ours. It was really scary yet amazing to watch (yep, we were in our house watching). Yes we saw the ground moving too.

12. What lurks beneath the surface...

Probably just some roots!

14. You may have solved a mystery by posting this!

I have several acres of woodland in upper New Hampshire upon which we would do a lot of family camping. With "the kids" now grown, married and far-flung, we hadn't been up there in a number of years. When we did make a trip back, we found the terrain to be completely changed from before, with the ground oddly buckled. It was obvious water had something to do with it, but I never imagined the trees could uplift the ground in such a manner, but this looks pretty darn close to what we found. I've sent this on to my kids for their viewing also.

Thanks!
