Hey blam, I enjoy your posts. We once had our own Atlantis not far from you.

In the 1920's, a resort and gambling casino stood on the Isle of Caprice, midway between Horn and Ship Islands. All of the island's sea oats were harvested and sold to a Chicago florist to enhance floral arrangements. When a hurricane slashed through the island in 1926 there was nothing left to anchor the dunes and most of the sand washed away. Within five years all that remained of the island was a submerged sand bar. The natural forces that build up and erode away barrier islands are in such delicate balance that any impact by man can threaten their very existence.
See Gulf Islands National Seashore


When I see a post about "Archaeoloogists", I think BLAM!

A similar search was conducted for a medieval fortress (seems to me it was on the west shore of the Caspian) as the water level fell. It was widely doubted to have existed by the local academic community (USSR? don't recall) but was found exactly where local folklore remembered it.
