living is (un)easy by the big lake
Gosh, why wouldn't the good people of southern Florida not trust in the big hill surrounding Lake Okeechobee that passes for a flood control system? Surely it couldn't be undermined by rising waters and heavy rain, could it?
Advice for the people downstream and near from the big lake -- don't stay at home if a hurricane passes your way. Because as the Post noted, 'Portions of the dike "bear a striking resemblance to Swiss cheese," according to the engineers' report, which extensively cites Army Corps of Engineers documents.'
The same engineers' reports puts the chances of a failure of the dike at 1 in 6 every year! Yikes. Sooner or later, that '1' will come up. And will that return southern Florida and the Everglades to their original form?
