Storm Debris Includes Unexploded Ordnance
September 26, 2003

(AP)-Authorities say Hurricane Isabel has been responsible for an
unwelcome surprise in communities along the Chesapeake Bay -- unexploded
military ordnance.

The explosives have been washing up with storm debris on shore and
turning up in fishing nets.

Maryland Deputy State Fire Marshal Faron Taylor says they've been in the
bay for years -- leftover from the days when the military used bay
islands for target practice.

Taylor says the devices come in all shapes in sizes, but are often
metallic and may have military markings.

He says anyone finding the devices should call authorities.
