In the midst of all of the destruction and death about to fall on our nation, I was thinking about a trip to the Keys 10 years ago.
On Big Pine Key is the National Key Deer Refuge. They are an endangered species found in only one place in the world, the Florida Keys.
Big Pine Key is about halfway between Marathon and Key West.

I really hope that the entire population isn’t wiped out by this hurricane.
Those deer have survived plenty worse than this in the past, in order to have become a distinct species of deer that only exists in the Florida Keys. While the storm certainly doesn’t sound good, let’s not play into the MSM’s hands by going overboard.
Once Hurricane #Irma makes landfall, the eye will slowly fill or become less apparent. Winds around huge symmetric eye are extreme. pic.twitter.com/pSUolZdjU4— Ryan Maue (@RyanMaue) September 8, 2017
Lately, Irma seems to have had a knack for clobbering wildlife refuges and semi-refuges—Salt Cay, Ambergris Cays, Inagua.
Key deer are pretty good at maintain their herd their numbers are up and looking good.
