RE: Florida: What in the world is going on here!?

in #weather7 years ago

I live in north central Florida, here’s my explanation for these events.
Florida is sand and limestone underground and has the largest number of underground springs in the world. Heavy rains combined with the underground topography is unstable to say the least, it rained buckets this morning for hours.
Regarding zombies, University of Florida started this yearly thing on campus about zombies. It started as a prep type situation based upon the Walking Dead tv show. It kinda spread from there. Somebody likely added the message about zombies to the alert. I have seen no zombies to date.
It’s an active tropical season, Florida sticks out and if your a storm with its peninsular coastline it’s likely anything forming south, east or west might run into it.LOL
Irma was Indeed a beast, hope not to see the likes of her in the future, we had no power for over a week and extensive tree damage. It’s likely going to be a busy tropical season.
Although I’ll say Florida is a weird state, full of degenerate people who want to disappear and lots of serial killers😉

Thank you, it is always a pleasure to hear someone that is around where events like these are happening. We know that Flordia is basically sand...sorry but that is the way we (I really should say I on this one ^^) look at it. Love Florida, been many times as a child and a few as an adult.
The place that was mentioned in the article has a long history of sinkholes, but the problem is it is not happening in just Florida. Other place in the United States and other countries are having this issue as well.
The zombie thing was funny to me (would have been different if I had received that alert though). I know that people have talked about a zombie apocalypse for a while now. It was really a common thing to hear when the Ebola outbreak happened in Africa.
Irma was horrible. We travel down to the Keys after it happened and seen some of the devastation that people where faced with. It was heartbreaking.
Why do you say it is a weird state (could not help but to crack up when reading that)? Most people look at Florida as a great escape lol

It’s a great escape for sure, I’ve just seen more odd things here since moving from my home state of Texas in 2005. I like it don’t get me wrong, it’s just the population is so transient-lots of People from all over the US and the world come here to go to Disney and the coastlines. Not to mention snowbirds. It’s just different, people bring their own flavors to Florida.

I see where you are coming from. Florida is like an airport...people just have longer layovers (lol). There is definitely a great mixture there (something for everyone). Never been to Texas, but it is a place I would love to visit.
