Yep, there really weren't any bullets to dodge this year. I still worry about the rising waters, though.

Must be a Blues song in there somewhere.

Rising waters? What rising waters?

Ocean scientists note that sea water is finding its way further into Florida's canal drainage systems, particularly during storms, suggesting that sea levels are rising. In another century or two, red, yellow and green evacuation zones down here may look very much different than at present. I'm located about 10 miles west of the ocean and may become beach front property some day. :wink: Steve is practically underwater already. :shock:

We have been nailed unmercifully by the tail end of hurricanes that blow up from the Eastern Seaboard and New England States.A couple of years ago Hurricane Igor caused incredible destruction all over the province but did its worst on the North East Coast and Burin Peninsula by washing large homes,bridges,and vehicles into the sea from the huge flash floods that were caused.There was only one fatality a man got washed out to sea when a flash flood suddenly and without warning washed out the driveway he was standing on.Thank God we only had a couple of smaller ones this year.

We had some of the best drinking water in SoFla until a couple of years ago when salt water found its way into the wells. BTW - Twice a year we ARE under water on Rte A1A!!

Well, look at it this way...There certainly has to be some place for them to go when they're through with us. Doesn't it say somewhere that it is 'better to give than receive'/ :? :? :? :oops:

Mother Nature's way of taking care of the street cleaning for all those high end folks on either side of the Intercoastal. Ya'll would really love the driving down here during a serious downpour.[ Amphibious vehicles only on the main roads. :lol: ] One learns what roads to steer clear of at such time, but you can always count on the 4WD's, and tall pickup truck heroes to maintain speed and make things difficult. It was like that yesterday morning going west on Palmetto from I-95. I was trying to keep to the center land [the crown of the road] but even that was awash in places. Don't ask about the intersections. Ufff!!!

Those Ocean Scientists will also tell you that all the construction build up and canal creation has wiped out the natural swamps that existed in this area before all the development started. Those natural barriers have been gone for many years now. Just ask the folks down in New Orleans...they have the same problem. It is poor science that does not take into account the extremely complicated ground water system in Florida. The studies also say that the reason for the salt water infiltration into the water table is caused by the amount of water being taken out of it. hence the sink holes all over Florida...well except up in the panhandle.

Our planet is a complex thing, for example they thought the water levels in the Great Lakes were getting lower, and at first they thought simple drought conditions were causing it. Then after many scientific studies over 30+ years they believe they found the answer. The section of the globe that makes up the great lakes basin was actually rising! The weight of the glaciers that covered much of this area 10K years ago actually dented in the crust of the earth and it now rebounding which is very slowly draining the lakes. But even after 30 years of scientific study on one single problem, there still is no consensus if this is the only reason. So if the scientists can't even come to a consensus on this, I am not sure they yet have the abilities and knowledge to explain rising water levels. Water levels that are happening in some areas but not globally so it seems to be somewhat of a localized issue (although a big one), but in several places (i.e., the areas where coastal buildup has depleted the areas ability to protect itself). Not trying to start an argument here, especially since I am not a scientist, but I have done quite a bit of study on the subject.

Thanks. I am now jamming Rising Waters Blues instead of buffing the floors...

Well water is widely used in these parts for irrigating lawns and gardens in that county water is costly. Once a well is dug and the outflow directed to the sprinkler system, waters costs for household applications plummet. You would think that the water cycle would return much of it to the acquifers. Doesn't seem to be the case, though.

Yeah, so far so good as far as that is concerned. I just hope we don't get another bad blizzard (I live in Rhode Island) like we did almost last year. Having no power in 10 degree weather in a house built in 1882 (poorly insulated, to say the least) isn't much fun. At least we have a gas stove and hot water heater with flint ignition.
