Florida county under state of emergency...

Post by David »

Well, speaking of a disaster that could affect an entire region...

Florida county under state of emergency as reservoir with millions of gallons of "contaminated, radioactive wastewater" could collapse "at any time"

This is the county just south of the county I currently live in. In fact, this is where I purchased my Glock 35 just a few weeks ago. Folks getting evacuated out of the area. Not good at all.

I know where that is at, when that busts it will run off into Tampa bay, over by port Manatee. Then it will drift down to the beaches where I live. That is awesome... More dead fish to smell.

Gotta stock up on more water.

I'm guessing it is still holding, haven't seen anything on the news that it gave way.

We had a major dam break in central Michigan last May. It flooded a bunch of towns and cities. The rivers and lakes up stream are still dry and the dam hasn't been fixed yet.

As always - situational awareness. Know where you live, know the risks. Be prepared.
