I was disappointed in the location. I had never been to this region, and now that I've been there I don't think as favorably of it as I had imagined.
Much of what the author says in the article, I saw for myself. Lots of land going under water, or shallow, water covering what used to be land, per the guide who's lived there all his life. I saw many areas inshore with large dead trees still standing, dead from salt water getting their roots.
Many houses have been lifted up on piers. Every high tide with a south or SE wind and the roads and yards flood with brackish water, and it would be much worse if the flood gates were left open or weren't there.
Lots of gas and oil wells. The mud stinks, and is black. It's a nasty place and I'll never go back.

Sorry you had a bum trip.
There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.

The marina is flooded with ankle deep water.
Lot of dead alligators - roadkill - including big ones 10 plus footers. Never see that in Florida.
Venice is being over fished for tuna and the new offshore structures are moving bait and resident tuna future offshore. Riding 70 miles out is expensive and not fun.
If anyone wants to doubt global warming - go to Venice, Louisiana.

Sounds just like every swamp I have ever seen.

And I for one is very glad it happened!
Apparently our earth was covered with ice, a mile deep, all of it.
If it was not for global warming, we would not be here! Posts: 66672 | Location: Dubai, UAE | Registered: 08 January 1998 Powered by Social Strata Please Wait. Your request is being processed...
