Read the whole story here, which includes quotes from Guthrie about how the state is considering evacuation options for detainees, which the new redacted report contains no additional non-redacted details on:.

For those that didn’t read my story, here’s the direct quote from @FLSERT spokesperson for @KevinGuthrieFL when I asked for the state hurricane plan. Today, the day after my story published, Florida released a heavily redacted draft version of a disaster plan.

As the scientific tide starts to turn on coral restoration via regrowing fragments of fast-growing corals, a new idea is starting to gain traction -- crossbreeding corals with their stronger neighbors in the Caribbean. My latest on 'assisted gene flow'

The state of Florida recently approved a first-in-the-world scientific approach to rescuing our dying corals -- allowing crossbred Florida x Honduran corals to be planted off Key Biscayne. Scientists say it could be the best bet to rescue at least some reefs from climate change.

Incredible, crushing, heart-wrenching writing from @FreshParsley. Every tragedy is so much more intense than any of us could ever know, unless we lived through it.

This March memo suggests stopping all new enrollments in the NFIP. That would grind the real estate market in Florida to a near halt. No flood insurance means no mortgage in flood zones.

Fascinating story from @annamphillips about the clash between government buyouts vs small towns that can’t afford to let people go. Makes me wonder what that will look like in some rural, riverfront Florida communities. Or maybe even the Keys one day?.

And @sohailal_jamea made this lovely animation explaining the process we're talking about. Notice how the higher groundwater levels make it even easier for rainfall to cause flooding

Adding in the groundwater connection doesn't necessarily show flooding in new areas. @semerriam overlaid flood complaints in Fort Lauderdale with Broward's future scenarios mapping and found they match pretty well

Part 3 of my series exploring real estate and climate change in South Florida explores groundwater flooding!
