could be the southern pine bark beetle. there is supposedly big infestations going on. i know a couple of people that had to have the pines in their yards cut down because they died almost overnight due to the beetles.

I doubt that's what's going on to make so many of them dead looking all at once.
Don't beetle infestations usually move more slowly?
I'm talking within the 20 mile radius I drive most days, thousands of pine trees are looking dead everywhere. The hardwoods are just doing their normal Fall color change and leaf dropping.
