papasmurf Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 As some of you may be aware, Florida has had record breaking amounts of rainfall, in the double digit numbers of inches. I took a few pictures of my yard, with the doggies happily romping in "Lake Smurf". About 7-8 inches of water, and as much under the house foundation. A sump pump has been slowly draining this over the last few days. Never before seen rainfall amounts in my 35 years here by the coast, can you say "Global Warmimg"? I knew that you could. This has kept us quite busy, and model building work is at a halt while we clean up the mess. When the new version of the standard Jupiter 2 Space Saucer, is finally completed, I will post final images here. Providing we don't float away first! Forecasts indicate more rain today and tomorrow, could it be "the shape of things to come", as geologist/meteorologist/futurist, Micheal Scallion, predicted, some years ago? He predicted worldwide coastal changes, and that Florida would recede dramatically, and become a chain of Islands. Bummer.......... "Spinner" and "Spice", our female Labs, in the new lake! "The little pump the could", works on the flooded foundation..........whrrrrr.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Delano Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Never before seen rainfall amounts in my 35 years here by the coast, can you say "Global Warmimg"? Careful! You might get tagged as a lunatic left-wing socialist for even hinting that human activity might somehow have lead real consequences on our surrounding environment.... It's a Trap!!!!
