    We pretty much need more than 150" spread out over the entire summer in N Fl, Ga, and LA to make any kind of dent in our problems, but this event is a great start

    The fresh water we're concerned about in Florida is in the surficial aquifer and it needs local rainfall.

    Mother nature has a way of taking care of things. The water level has gone up and down, up and down forever and this time is no different.

    Except now, Coca Cola and agriculture are drawing record amounts of water OUT of the aquafer, in addition to the "normal" drought/flood cycles. Unless we start to limit the UNNATURAL man-made draining of the aquifer, central Florida is in danger of becoming the next Aral Sea.

    If a commercial jet takes 30 minutes to descend from cruising altitude nominally, but then does it in 2 minutes, there IS something different and a problem...

    I think mother nature has done her part! We are the ones that are dysfunctional.

    Old Joke: The Navy has left more ships stranded at the bottom of the sea, than the Air Force has left Air Craft hanging in mid-air.
