Yikes. Stay safe if you are in that area.

More good news...

Are we talking about Jerry Nadler’s septic tank?

[Lockbar]

Trumps fault,.....just wait.

IBOTHM!

The contaminated water will surely kill Manatees swimming nearby. Bad news.

Li Cohen is a social media producer and trending reporter for CBS News, focusing on social justice issues.

Why can’t media outlets find someone that can explain the issue? The article barely makes any sense.

Manatees tried to kill my brother-in-law twice. Partly joking. One scratched its’ back on his kayak, nearly dumping him. Another one did dump the kayak he and my niece were in a year later.

Good fun.

Miles and miles of radioactivity in Central FL??

Phosphates were mined for dishwasher detergents.

Now free of detergent production, the largest phosphate amounts go into into keeping lawns green.

The fishing guy was livid. Said he makes a good bit of his living in the area affected. Felt bad for him. He said that this water treatment plant has been mismanaged for a long time.

Quite ironic on timing

You mean DeSantis’ fault.

The solution to pollution is dilution.

Should clear up in a couple years if it hits open water, just dont eat ant seafood coming from there.

Don’t tarry while driving through Central Florida!
