Rising Lakes Threaten Orlando Area Nobody Knows Why It's Happening!!!

Um yeah, I haven't heard that nearby Cape Canaveral (about the closest ocean coastline) is being flooded.

Yep, they should have all stayed up north.

That girl is soooo weird, you see the way she acts sometimes? I don't mean her rants, but her mannerisms... JUST WTF sometimes

It's like a mountain to those of us who were raised here. When I went out west I was terrified of driving because of hills and mountains until I practiced. Florida is boring now.

I wonder if anyone has done a RECENT survey since this anomaly began ?

Questioning if the land isn't sinking.

Could it be the land is sinking farther toward the water table instead of the water rising?

Exactly, if you've flown over it it looks like a sponge floating in a sink full of water.

This is the correct answer. We're coming out of a very long drought. I had an old timer tell me which parcels of land were once underwater. I watched people build houses on those parcels.

It does look like a sponge from the air. A little disconcerting.

Well I know the west coast is layers of sand on top of limestone caverns .

This poor bastard had a sinkhole open up under his bed while he slept in his bedroom . I read a report his brother could hear him scream after waking as he went under the sand .

Worst case scenario that poor soul was deposited into an empty chamber in the limestone caverns and bumped around in pitch black in a cavernous environment devoid of sound except for his own until he eventually succumbed to dehydration.


I hope he suffocated almost immediately , I hope his fate wasn't succumbing to dehydration in the pitch black before days of what most assuredly would have been literal hell on earth .

We have high ground here in San Antonio FL. Big hills 469 ft above sea level in some parts. Xlermont claims to be highest elevation at 369 ft above sea level. Both are in central fla.

Probably due to the new construction. The house I grew up in which is about six blocks from the Atlantic Ocean, was surrounded by marshland, and we never had flooding. A developer bought up most that land (and probably bribed many officials), and began building. By filling in the marshland, which soaked up excess rainwater and overflow from the nearby bay, that water had to go somewhere. Now the area floods on a regular basis and many homes were destroyed by hurricane Sandy. And they keep building.

happens all the time in Naples , Ft Myers and Marco Island , has for 40 years Ive been here , nothing about this is news and the boss who ordered the millenial to write the nonsense article and the one that approved the publication of it should be let go (changes it up ) oh all three were libtard millenial shills no doubt

I live in Clermont, which is 20 west of downtown Orlando. We live on lake Minneola, the water has not fluctuated all summer. In fact, if we don't get some rain soon, I'm expecting lake levels to lower. I have a feeling we're going into a drought. Things are exceptionally dry....I have not seen this on our local news, thanks for posting!

It's not so much Disneyworld proper that's the problem, it's the giant concrete and asphalt city around it with hotels, shopping centers, restaurants, warehouses, office buildings, etc. all with huge parking lots and a vast network of multilane highways linking it all together.

Sell the water!

could it linked to all the growth of people moving here with septic tanks leaking into the lakes? I know the illegals and other people from cuba mexico ect do not follow law.They stuff 20 folks in a bed bath house.They ignore code ect

I spent alot of time writing a rebuttal. Something about slight aphasia, something about how I spelled the word correctly but merely used the wrong word. I even wrote something about your lack of reading comprehension as there was no spelling error and something about you having an inferiority complex.

It was incredibly elegant, then when i went to post it, a link didn't agree with this website and everything went badly and I lost it.

When I think of "where" I often think of a place, when I think of "were" I think of people/things. It is incorrect, but Grammar has never been a strong suite, so I read, and read and read, and merely mimic an artificial grammar, that is sometimes correct, sometimes incorrect.

Your still an asshole though.

Been off , thanks for pin

In Florida, Flushing the Toilet Is Threatened by Rising Sea Levels for Tens of Thousands of Homeowners

the whole state in trouble

Strange events like this have been happening in Florida since forever! Lots of water, springs, caves. Paynes Prairie near Gainsville was in the 1800's/early 1900's huge inland lake with enormous old victorian hotels and old fashioned steam paddle boats. Suddenly the water just disappeared like a cork being opened on a bath tub!. There are also sink holes that show up and swallowed a whole house with a guy in it who died!
Planet earth is always changing, shakin, stormin, blowing, and belching and it will always be, just ask the dinosaurs!

every thing is status quo here just your libtard media sucking the remaining cerebellum out of your cranium

There isn't a chance this could be liquifaction?

sinkhole in Florida has opened up swallowing a hotel just miles from Walt Disney World

Thank you

Was there no a dam or spillway built to let water out? Seems in a hurricane flooding area that would be something to think of.

And you live at the highest elevation we have here. 369 ft above sea level. Good choice.
I almost married a lawyer from Clermont. It was a simple place then. Idk how it is now.

LOL sinkholes have been happening in Florida throughout history ,,,,those nasty crack that drop LA into the pacific after a rumble really suck though

Awww The hazards of living .......

The Floridan Aquifer is an underground system of streams, flowing through limestone caverns, spanning the entire state. And it’s the source of fresh water for millions of people. For years, water levels in the aquifer have been slipping, sending shock waves through delicately balanced ecosystems in springs and sinkholes. Geologist Todd Kincaid says due to sea level rise and changes in flow levels, saltwater is now posing a threat to the aquifer. In the case of one North Florida sinkhole, Kincaid says saltwater is now flowing in, instead of freshwater.
