Florida crews are pumping wastewater into Tampa Bay to avoid a full reservoir breach: What we know

Florida environmental officials last week approved the pumping of wastewater from a reservoir into Tampa Bay in hopes of avoiding a major collapse.

Yea, that looks really dangerous. I read yesterday that if it fully collapses it could lead to a 20 foot wall of water hitting the surrounding towns. They are under an evacuation order. But I think the article also said the surrounding towns only have like 400 homes or something. Now all of this could be wrong because I'm basing it on skimming an article.

I don't think it's that kind of wastewater. I think it's runoff from some old phosphate plant.

Oh. Then it‘s ok.

This mansion was a perfect venue for their long-awaited wedding. But it wasn’t theirs.

Two lovebirds thought a palatial mansion in scenic Southwest Ranches was the perfect place to tie the knot. God called them there, they said. So the pair, referring to themselves as “the Royal Couple,” posted an online…

That's a fun silly haha joke you did there Hectic but the IHOP dude didn't have them arrested. That was almost as stunning to me as these randos taking over a vacant mansion and pretending it was theirs for their wedding. If I got home from Disney and someone was in chilling in my place I'd for sure want them locked up.

I thought that part was great. What a fun idea. It’s a twist on wedding crashing.

Isn't jailhouse one of the wedding themes?

These four men were selling a bleach mixture as a cure for COVID-19. Where in the world did they get such an idea?

Ha, that's great.

As I can attest, at least in south and central FL, it takes like 2 minutes to search for a place that offers walk up shots. And Bradenton, FL is basically a Tampa suburb so I'm sure it's the same there too.

Darwin. Amirite people?

It's about the only thing I like about people refusing to get the vaccine.
Unfortunately, they will be getting other people sick too.

It was probably a crack pipe.

It's a wonder that doesn't happen a lot more often during every hurricane season when people stock up on gas.
