    Florida survived, but I think they all have quite a cleanup on their hands now. Great work on the haiku.

    Wonder how/ why it is that Florida still denies climate change and still cuts grants for curbing emissions... . when apparently they are among the vulnerable of the effects-- it is hard to know what they are thinking- maybe they believe it is just chance--- blue skies will come again, but what of the life that once was. Looks like the magical world of disney fared well enough.
