Won't take much to submerge south florida, most of the area south of Okeichobee (sp) is only fresh water because the flow rate from the lake is so high. Cut the water flow off, and the Everglades go salt.
I was in Ft. Lauderdale over Thanksgiving, and people are losing 50 year old trees to salt water incursion in the ground water -- only 4-5 ft above high tide. The highest part of the area is the sand dune behind the beach, and that's about 12 ft at most, usually 6 or so ft. Four foot rise in average sea level and most of Ft. Lauderdale will be standing water..... _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
