The same kind of flooding that hit Brazil I expect to hit south Florida within the next year.
Florida does have a rigorous pumping systems due to hurricanes. So we will be able to pump the extra water out.... eventually. That being said, flooding will still persist for days at a time.
Though I am sure our elected officials won't just pretend that climate change doesn't exist..... and will put effort into upgrading that pumping infrastructure....
is the pumping system up to the same standards as Texas’ electric grid?
Not funny! 100's of thousands of people are currently in the dark because a thunderstorm came through 4 days ago!. JK. Maybe if enough people make fun of the joke of an electrical grid Texas has, it'll be improved.
