And to think you guys are prepared for these things!!  We would be in deep doo-doo here just with heavy rainfall for a while!  Back in the mid-90’s we got 36” of rain one winter.  Streets were flooded but most of it ran out into the ocean.  We don’t have storm drains!!

 
They have opened the locks on the lakes so through the system of rivers and canals they will slowly drain it all towards Lake Ocachobe and the Everglades

That is very interesting!  I never knew there were locks in FL!!!  We toured the locks in Sautl Ste. Marie over the summer.  It was quite fascinating.

 
Yep…lol….we have canals all over the place

I read why Mark came back to the show….

The old producer came back after they got rid of the one that let Tom and Erin go and called Mark and asked him to come back.

Oh, wow
 

Yeah…O think they really needed kind’ve a rejuvenation if the show was going to continue.  Sometimes everything that’s old is new again!!  And not everything that is old is bad or even out of date with a little fine tuning!

 
It’s so much better than it has been in several seasons

LOL….right…it seems more like our original format ….just wish it was still on ABC too for the ones without D+

 
I know that makes me so sad. Then they don’t let the videos on YouTube or other sources.

Yes.........and that is a big bummer for me and Gabriele......lol

Same here…I’m not happy about it.  And it may end up backfiring on them.  They probably have a lot of viewers that aren’t signing up.  Kind’ve arrogant.

Yes…that was good!!  I am impressed with how prepared the state was for something that no one could really imagine would be soooo bad.

 
Weeeeelllll…..it’s not our first go around….we stay prepared like the Northern States stay prepared for snow

I hear you!  I know you have had lots of practice!!!  LOL. But it seems that we have an excess of criticism in some areas of our world….and there has been very little of how FL has been handled before and after the hurricane.  Maybe we are turning a corner??!!  I would hope so!!  After all, everyone is huma and not a one of us is perfect!!

 
Amen
