"Go plant a couple trees & forget it." I do; every year. Started watering the first of them yesterday. More "nonsense" Miami Beach to begin new $100 million flood prevention project in face of sea level rise BY JOEY FLECHAS With Miami Beach set to break ground this year on the most ambitious piece yet of its aggressive anti-flooding project, some homeowners worry that raising streets to keep them dry will cause flooding on their properties. So what happens when the power goes down? The residents that have to pump water up hill from their properties will suddenly be the proud owners of a lovely pond. The power almost never goes out during storm surges right? When several pumps were either turned off or out for repairs during a thunderstorm in October, one restaurant a few feet below street level flooded, fueling the worries of homeowners in the larger project area. The owner’s insurance company denied full flood coverage, prompting the owner and city to dispute the claim. miamiherald.com
