Last spring, I was watching a feature
on WINK News in Florida. They were interviewing a naturalist whose fear was
that “the Everglades
are running out of water…” He was
drumming up support for various means of
getting fresh water back into the Everglades. He was afraid that some species
of plants and animals might die off. He wanted government to get concerned
about this, and he also wanted ordinary people to take this more seriously and
to donate money. However, early in September, the problem seemed to be
instantly solved. As Forrest Gump would say, “Just then, God showed up!”
Hurricane Irma suddenly and freely replenished those drying swamps with all the
fresh water they could use, and then some!
