TRYIN' TO REASON WITH HURRICANE SEASON HERE

HURRICANE MILTON THE AFTERMATH THURSDAY, 10 OCTOBER 2024
FRONT Welcome to Lake ToniJen . . . The "Faux Tara" across the street, Home of THE FIVE SCREAMERS (there is a great variety of architectural styles in Tarpon Woods, with few duplicated styles) Circled is one of the drains through which Brooker Creek, a few feet over flood stage, poured forth for several days . . . Wonder if the USPS has a mailboat . . . To my left on Jennifer Terrace . . . Our driveway . . . and THIS is why it is a BAD IDEA to walk thru the water. It is so dark that alligators, water moccasins, or fire ants could be in there (see how fire ants link together and float on top of the water to avoid drowning HERE), as well as VIBRIO, which can lead to flesh-eating bacteria. There have been several deaths from this in the aftermath of H. Milton, even tho people were warned NOT TO WALK THRU THE WATER. (When all was dried out, Neal found a fish in the street)
(The brown water is NOT sewage; it is tannin from the trees.)
Continuing to the left on Jennifer Terrace . . . These neighbors cut down some lovely trees and replaced them with a few of these twigs, then left them to die. To my right down Toniwood Lane . . . A few minutes later . . . Marie & Patrick figure if Mother Nature gives you lakefront property, you may as well sit down and enjoy it! WE HAVE NO ELECTRICITY.
