The Caloosahatchee was designed to handle all that water when it was

SW Florida is going to disappear, sort of like Atlantis?


If we have a storm that tracks such that the wind is out of the north
across the lake Clewiston might be the new Atlantis.


Having real estate in So. Florida was an eye opening experience for me. At
one point we had two properties located in a gated development that was
built on 1000 acres in the middle of swamp lands. Nice, until the hurricane
season of 2004 destroyed one of the berms on a water management system that
controls the level of Lake Okeechobee. At 11 feet above sea level, most of
the house lots became personal islands within 12 hours of the berm failure.
Some houses were flooded. Next came the snakes and alligators.

Sold both properties.
