lots of lakes

ummmm 82 feet above sea level but living on a lake ....hmmm was that lake 82 feet down a cliff or did water rise a few feet because of local hydrology issues (new subdivision, sheet flow , etc ) sounds like he needs to sue a developer and thats about it , sorry no UFO about to bust through the ground , swelling water before it does ....nothing to see here ....move along ...gloomers

wow! so strange!!

Yes something to watch

.



They had a king tide recently in south Fla.

During spring snd fall months, the highest tides of each month, are pretty high. Then add winds, etc, they can be pretty high.

Just how it is.

Everyday, recently, twice a day, my street is filled with water. We jokingly call it little Venice.

Well- Florida is just a giant sponge.

Sorry- but I have it difficult to feel sympathy for folks who buy lakefront property in flat areas and never take flood ins b/c “it’s not in a flood zone”.

Didn't you say something in another thread about water rising up from the ground?

GRETA KNOWS.


IT IS WHITE PEOPLE. AND MEAT.

People buy homes on the water then complain when the water rises? The people complaining live on a private lake and expect the government to help them.

I'm in New Jersey, and know a family who built a house on a creek. They have flooding when we get torrential rains. Their property floods and the woman calls the media, appears on TV, and yells and complains about the flooding! They expect the government to pay for their losses. I can never understand that.

Subsidence?

True Story

It's a bummer for those people but perhaps a lesson in nature and where to put your home

good points.. gotta wonder how they manage all of this in Florida.. maybe they need to bring in the Dutch to fix their problems?

Homes built during years of drought. No more drought

Most of Florida is full of underground aquifers, most lead to ocean pathways. It really wouldn't take much to sink nearly all of Florida. Between Hurricanes, sinkholes and humid ass weather I don't see why anyone would want to reside in Florida, especially retire there.

No doubt man made climate change is at work here.

The oceans are rising....in the lakes... or something like that.

We'll let Al Gore iron out the particulars.

Here's a video and photos. Sad, but you're correct! Watch where you build or buy a home!

lots of florida is a creation. it was mostly swamps. they dug the dirt out of the swap to make canals lakes and ponds. and put houses and stores and roads on the created high land.

dont over think it.

my first guess is the water table is rising

Too many assholes! They are sinking

And lots of sink holes.

For my family, a job promotions took them there. You go where the opportunities are. I visit often. They live in a gorgeous area. Absolutely beautiful!

Land is sinking

Majority of FL was never meant to be developed and live on.

Didn’t Walt Disney dig up a whole bunch of swampland around there
50 years ago ?

SHILL ALERT!!!

SHILLS ALWAYS DEMEAN.

Cloud seeding my ass. Those are Chemtrail planes and they are done for nefarious reasons. There is NOTHING benevolent about a "program" that has been hidden from the public.

Um - here's one reason - Florida house more shoreline than any other state, save only Alaska. And nearly all that shoreline is in moderate to warm waters, making Florida a premiere state for vacationers from around the world.

People that know much about geology, Florida's aquifers, sink holes, elevations, flood plains, topography, the location of lakes' and rivers' outfalls once the rainfall norms have been breached, soil types, etc., are very rarely surprised by any of these flooding issues; therefore, if you are going to buy a home or some land in Florida, you better get a handle on all of these items.
