What a miserable hot and humid swamp with incessant rain and bugs. I love the weather in October through April usually, but this constant rain and humidity makes me think people would simply go insane in pioneer times living in this jungle where a person has to fight constantly not to have a clearing revert back to jungle.....standing water everywhere. I asked a county official about how everything north of 98 and west of Panhandle in Navarre is basically a swamp and why did they not put in a proper drainage and retention system before letting lots be settled......it now is standing water, people living out of rvs in front yards of broken down manufactured homes with abandoned cars everywhere........as few maintain their property........I was angry to see such neglect.....until a few years ago I realized in the summer its too damn hot and humid to do normal maintenance outside, and that folks had given up. Well the County official said that it was wetland and there is nothing that could be done....BS......the Zika virus is going to change the reality of allowing human habitation in a swamp.....it will be a game changer.
