A thread of Where Tf is Ron DeSantis with this Gas Crisis in Florida:
@PediRN113 with the facts.
Volume increasing (at least on local news) from frustrated residents of South Florida’s flooded neighborhoods. I can refer you to my timeline for previous posts on this matter, but let me summarize again:
(1) no system is designed to absorb 18 inches of rain in a day

(2) Granted, some flood mitigation is possible. I said mitigation, not elimination. E.g. the C-4 Basin in Miami-Dade put in place after the 2000 No Name Storm. And pumps. These things cost big big bucks. Meaning higher taxes. So people against higher taxes can’t have it both ways
(3) This particular event had a 1% chance of occurring in any year. But we’ve had many 1-in-100 year events just over the course of the last 25 years. Statistics are static and don’t incorporate the changing dynamics being driven by #ClimateChange
