ORIGINAL SUBMISSION:

For several days, meteorologists have warned of storms and torrential rains. Still, 4 geocachers went looking for a cache - into the underground creek. The massive rains of the underground creek filled and 4 cachers were endangered. 2 cahers floated 4 km further to the Vltava River (Prague, Czech Republic), a 27-year-old woman found on Saturday, June 9, 2018 in Vltava drowned. The fourth cacher is still buried.

If they knew of the pending storms and still went underground then they have nobody to blame but themselves. Thanks for sending this in!

I looked up geocaching, which is defined as a *recreational* activity -one that can wait until after the storm! Thanks, Z!
