Hurricane Isaac

I heard on the news earlier today that they really don't know how strong it might get. Lot of warm water between it and the coast. I wish the best for everyone in the way of it.

Found this turtle dead and split in half on the beach. Not sure what killed it. Looks like a Loggerhead.

I am not sure if it was killed at sea and washed ashore or it was killed on shore by wave action, etc. It was right over it's nesting site which leads me to believe it was alive when it made it onto the beach. There was some of the tape they use to mark off nesting sites wrapped around it's neck. It could have gotten tangled up in it with the heavy surf and had trouble getting free. I can't imagine waves though breaking that shell.

It seems more the action of a propeller of a boat, a turtle does not die by a hurricane, or any such thing, putting them deep dive to save his life
