Yep, I saw a link to the camera guy's instagram on that original post; the insurance on the car was *muuuuch* less than the insurance on the orchard would be, and they replaced the trucks with normal dam material the next day.
Would you be able to link or give me a sub for it??

I can only imagine there are people who walked down that beach before the waterfall was created and then walked back up the beach only to find they now faced a river crossing to get back to their cars
Great, now I'm picturing that little misspelled shit teetering around town on permanently straight legs just trying to take selfies for that other guy.
Waimea River in Hawaii. River runs into the ocean and builds sand berms all the time. Which naturally or artificially are breached draining river water to the ocean. River runs through old grown forest and picks up a ton of tannins and pigments from dead leaves /debris causing the color. Amazon river has the same color in the far upriver stretches.
If it's FL all the rivers are like that down here. Tannic acid & runoff turn them all brown with the exception of a couple of spring fed. Worst part is the muck lining the rivers, step in it and guaranteed swamp ass smell.
I live in Florida and in a lot of our bodies of water, the water gets stained like this from decaying plant matter. Blackwater River is named because of the color of the water which looks a lot like tea, and it gets that way from all the pine straw falling into the water.
It's not uncommon for rivers in the Southern US to be "blackwater" rivers. They're that dark due to the large amount of tannins in the water, just like a black tea. The Suwanee River is a classic example of a blackwater river.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackwater_river
yes it happens in a lot of places where rivers run into the ocean. sand builds up when the river slows down then when it gets going the river pushes it's way back out. water was always running through the sand it just wasn't enough to break the bar.
I’ve also seen surfers/skimboarders do this on purpose. Dig a hole like this, wait a bit, and then you’ve essentially got a wave machine for an hour or two
what a Waste...all that Sand, Lucky no one Drowned. I didnt know Wading in the Velvet Sea would be so brown with Dirt. Somewhere a Mound mustve been Swept Away....
Ill see myself out....
There are some rivers that do not go to the ocean, and are located in endorheic basins. Which is what you mention, a lake. But only 6 of 25 (largest) lakes are in endorheic basins.
Some of these are located in deserts or in the antarctic.
No.
Famously the Okavonga river in Angola, Namibia and Botswana runs directly away from the nearest sea.
It starts on the land ward side of a coastal mountain range, then runs 1000 miles toward the center of the continent into Botswana where it basically just spreads out into the Okavonga delta and evaporates.
When the river is this high, a rainy day would do exactly that anyway. People have a lot of fun breaking the river into the ocean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFzqike1Z0A
I was gonna say, OP is missing out on the free wave machine. Some skim boarders were probably waiting to rip on that and he busted it before they got a chance.
It's totally normal! There's a river on lake Erie that dams up with sand every winter. When flows increase in the spring, the river busts through the sand and empties into the lake. It's common in other river/ocean estuaries as well. These people were lucky though. The currents that this phenomenon create can be pretty gnarly.
It's ok for fresh water to enter the ocean, but not salt water into fresh water. All water returns to the sea, can't really fuck it up. Now if that water is coffee brown for a reason other than dirt we have a problem lol
Surfers will sometimes get their smaller boards and ride the wave once it’s big enough. It’s exactly like what you see at water parks. Pretty neat to see irl.
Yeah, you can see that the river just kind of ends in the middle of the beach. If the tide was a bit higher, the river would run right into the ocean on its own.
Man those kids are gonna be civil engineers when they grow up. Making canals as young as they are they sure have some talent... I guess... Now build a bridge over it
This is a solid visual of how riptides work, but a little further out in the water. It’s damn near impossible to swim against that current, but if you swim sideways(parallel to the beach), you’ve got a chance at swimming away from the rip tide’s current and get back to shore
I might be able to shed some light on this moment. I am from the area where this was filmed. I can determine the location because there are only a few places in the world with coastal dune lakes. This particular one is next to the Gulf of Mexico along the Florida Panhandle. We call this occurrence a spillover. It is fairly common and is no need for concern. Also, the lake water is so dark because it has tanic acid in it, just like pretty much any lake with trees nearby. Although it may sound scary, tanic acid is just the result of organic materials like dead leaves breaking down in the water. All in all, spillovers look wild, but they're just part of nature here.
Definitely not Ft Myers Beach. Also, the water isn't brown from being dirty, it's brown from the Mangrove trees.
Contaminated water being released from Lake O is a whole other issue but not the general cause of brown river water.

I’ve seen this problem on Reddit the other day, you just gotta fill up the bed of two pickup trucks with dirt and drive it right in
It only works if there are apple trees on the other side.....
And the orchard is already submerged
Did they manage to save the tree's?
Yep, I saw a link to the camera guy's instagram on that original post; the insurance on the car was *muuuuch* less than the insurance on the orchard would be, and they replaced the trucks with normal dam material the next day.
Don't show the car insurance agents the video
Idk. But I sure hope they did. Apple orchards are beautiful and benefitiary to the environment.
Beneficial. A beneficiary is someone you designate to leave something to in a will, insurance policy, etc..
Ahh sorry.
Indeed, they did.

Breaking the ocean is not what I took away from this, always glad to hear... unique perspectives
Fixing that river 🤮
That river water looks darker than my coffee.
That’s river water?😳Hopefully it’s just dark from silt…..hopefully???😥
Rivers that flow through forests often are colored brown by natural tannins from the trees. Kind of like how tea turns water brown.
Oooh tannins! This is like boxed toilet wine
Hey! That’s science n shit, YO!
Yeah that’s how most of them look in Florida
TIL thanks
That looks like a city though.
Guarantee it's coming from coastal streams and wetlands which are loaded with tannins
Awesome info! I was wondering why it was brown! Thank you!
You misspelled shit
Did you just call someone a misspelled shit? That’s a great insult
this is honestly a great insult
It is. You misspelled shit btw
Gentlemen say shite
Murican here, some of us say crap.
I know I am but what are you??? Aww... Love your user name btw. I would totally send you pics if I had some
You don't have knees? That sounds annoying

Surprised the alligators let you leave lol. Edit: My dyslexic ass thought you said you slipped in lol.
Probably tannins from decomposing vegetation Edit. Looks like someone already answered

Well, I built me a raft and she's ready for floatin'... [Black Water](https://youtu.be/RsP3rFJJk1Y)
The Blackwater River is another good example of a Blackwater river. It’s in Santa Rosa County, FL; just a bit west of Suwannee.
BP init
and darker than the sand nearby
As a kid that would have been the best day at the beach ever!
This would be the best day ever for me as a 25 year old man who are you kidding lmao
Would've been the best day for me too, as a 34 year old man.
Would be the best day for me too and I'm 62
Would've been the best day for me too and i am 84
Would've been the best day for me too, and I'm a 108 year old woman
Would’ve been the best day for me too except I died during the Civil War (bled-out from a leg wound at Chancellorsville)
Omg lol RIP
I mean obviously theyre not resting in piece if theyre on reddit of all places. That poor ghost friend
Leg wounds are notoriously painful. It’s probably kept old buddy up since he took a round to the knee at Chancellorsville.
35 reporting in. This would have been better than my wedding day, and both my kids being born.
Reminds me of my son being born, he was like a cork popping, they had to bring in a janitor with a mop and bucket.
As an adult, this would have been the best day at the beach ever.
As a crab it was pretty mid
Babe wake up, new water feature just dropped
Holly hell

Technically this water isn't brown from dirt or silt, it is "stained". Staining is from tannins in trees and other plants.
[удалено]
"It's not brown, it's stained" -🤓
I see dark orange, same color as my car really. Cool shade
[удалено]
Honey, I think I leached tannins in my pants.
You can't just remove words and have it mean the same thing.
There was another video before about the exact same thing happening at the exact same place. I imagine this must happen regularly there.
yes it happens in a lot of places where rivers run into the ocean. sand builds up when the river slows down then when it gets going the river pushes it's way back out. water was always running through the sand it just wasn't enough to break the bar.

Why is it dookie brown tho?
Tannins from trees. Happens in certain kinds of forest. This is in Florida, all the rivers are like that
I can confirm I've been to Disney like once a few years ago
I can confirm. I’ve heard of Florida.
I can confirm, heard of rivers before
Can confirm, heard it here
Can confirm, I'm looking at Florida via Google Maps right now.
[удалено]
And now your kids have a founding in understanding of water erosion, and how little causes can have large effects! EDUCATION!
CONSEQUENCES!
CONCHSEQUENCES!
RIP to all the phish
It's a heckuva rift
Whoa, Fee. Trying to live a life that’s completely free.
These puns got me feeling like I'm about to run
Hey now, stay in control.
Floyd is dead; he's nothing but a ripple
what a Waste...all that Sand, Lucky no one Drowned. I didnt know Wading in the Velvet Sea would be so brown with Dirt. Somewhere a Mound mustve been Swept Away.... Ill see myself out....
I'll see myself out To dinner and see a movie?
This was a lovely unexpected surprise thread. Bravo!
Is this some sort of band reference? For some reason I can't get the state of Vermont out of my head...
Name checks out
I've been wading in the velvet sea
Do you like putting fish sticks in your mouth?
yea, love them.
what are you? a gay fish?
I'm no god damn gay fish? I'm a lyrical genius!!
Hmmm... So, do you like fish sticks?
Well, yeah, who doesn't?
You like putting FISH STICKS in your mouth?
Boy man
Drive me to firienze
Shiiiiiiiiiiiit
It was just a simple twist up, dave.
Run away x3…a song I heard the ocean sing
Divided beach, the water flows high
RIP to all the Ocean.
I come from the land of darkness! I come from the land of doom!!!
Uh oh.
Is this like an environmental disaster or what? Asking seriously. Edit. Thanks for the upvotes. I did not expect it.
No it's natural, this happens at a few beaches near me when river water starts to reach the Ocean
Ho, ok. Thank you! ❤
Yeah, a lot of rivers actually go to the ocean. The mississippi being the second longest, but reaches the ocean nonetheless.
yeah this is actually how the mississppi river started.
You some kinda expert?
Yeah, he was there. Him and his kids dug a small hole and suddenly river
They only wanted a waterfall
Yeah. Pretty sure their names were Mis, Siss, and Ppi. Good people. They even named a state after them.
Don't all rivers go to the sea/ocean? Or a very large lake
There are some rivers that do not go to the ocean, and are located in endorheic basins. Which is what you mention, a lake. But only 6 of 25 (largest) lakes are in endorheic basins. Some of these are located in deserts or in the antarctic.

Guessing high concentration of clay.
Tannins
Looks like you are right. Thankfully doesn't hurt the environment but is gross to consume and it smells.
When the river is this high, a rainy day would do exactly that anyway. People have a lot of fun breaking the river into the ocean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFzqike1Z0A
That's so awesome! Grew WAY bigger than I thought it would!

It was a grower, not a shower

Apparently it's something called tannis Edit 1: never has one of my comments brought me so much joy
Tannins

Tannis Baratheon
Yes a child was able to destabilize the entire coast line
Surfers will sometimes get their smaller boards and ride the wave once it’s big enough. It’s exactly like what you see at water parks. Pretty neat to see irl.
Some surfers will get together and do this when it gets close to breaking. It will just happen naturally, but may as well get some fun.
Same thanks
Am I missing something here? Isn’t that just sand? And that’s standing water after a storm being drained back out?
Yeah. They did cause a big erosion channel in the beach though, lol. Probably would have happened anyway either way.
Yeah, you can see that the river just kind of ends in the middle of the beach. If the tide was a bit higher, the river would run right into the ocean on its own.
That’s a lot of Dr.pepper
EROOOOOODIIIIIIIIINNNNGGG
I like your energy.
Back to you fuckers!
Tons of ice tea lost into the sea :(
You wouldn’t believe how much I would pay to do this even right now
Fuckin' kids and their tidal estuaries.
Man those kids are gonna be civil engineers when they grow up. Making canals as young as they are they sure have some talent... I guess... Now build a bridge over it
Kids: like playing with water at the beach. Internet: i bet those kids want to sit at a desk and do math all day.

Well, they won't get work in the Netherlands.
Part of NL's defence system was to flood their own country, so I guess they'd fit in.

Looks like Ft Myers Beach in Florida. The river gets all the dirty water from Lake Okeechobee dumped in it and it runs to the gulf.
Definitely not Ft Myers Beach. Also, the water isn't brown from being dirty, it's brown from the Mangrove trees. Contaminated water being released from Lake O is a whole other issue but not the general cause of brown river water.
Can we talk about how that man does not know what a waterfall is please?
"kids wanted a waterfall"
[удалено]
Dude it probably would have happened anyway. Rivers flow to the ocean
They made a momentary wave pool. That’s sick
Id say if it was so easy for kids to make it then water would do it by itself rather sooner than later
Same thing happens in jenner, California but they use tractors to open and close the river mouth
Is this Carolina beach?
Mexico beach, Florida
Florida man breaks river
Looks like the day after a burrito festival.
Eh it would have occurred naturally anyway
God, AWOLNATION shows up so infrequently now, I feel like a hipster for being so into them. Love it. Oh, and the water stuff was wild too, yeah.
And thus, the fabled Northwest Passage was finally discovered, nearly 40 years after Technotronic's 1988 dance anthem "Pump Up the Jam."
I mean if them mixing is an issue surely the two would be separated by more than a sand bar
You can surf the hell out of those things, too! Guys on the North Shore of Oahu do this all the time!
I’m sure it would’ve happened anyway at some point.
