Florida is overbuilt, there is too much pavement and not enough wetland. This was obvious from start. This will only get worse. Since Florida is so flat, there is nowhere for the rain to drain.
Wow, that's some crazy street flooding after a summer thunderstorm. Imagine a tropical storm! The streets in Tampa do that too, especially South Tampa.
Weather forecasters say increased chance for tropical Atlantic and gulf activity coming soon, thanks to very high water temperatures and decreased wind shear in Caribbean.
