Toastrel Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Toxic wastewater reservoir on verge of collapse in Florida could cause "catastrophic event" https://www.cbsnews.com/news/florida-state-of-emergency-wastewater-leak/ Quote Manatee County Public Safety Department initially sent out emergency evacuation notices on Friday for those who were within half a mile of Piney Point, and by 11 a.m. Saturday, evacuation orders were extended to people within one mile north of the reservoir's stacks of phosphogypsum — a fertilizer waste product — and those within half a mile to the south of the site. Surrounding stretches of highway were also closed to traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolg Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Only in Florida... A couple invites wedding guests to their "dream home". Except they didn't own it, and the owner had no clue they were going to hold a wedding there. Quote God called them there, they said. So the pair, referring to themselves as "the Royal Couple,” posted an online invitation to "our dream home and estate” — a 16,313-square-foot home with nine bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, a bowling alley, a theater and an 800-square-foot bar. Trouble was, it was someone else’s home. The owner was confounded when groom Courtney Wilson and another person showed up at the gate Saturday morning, prepared to set up for Wilson’s wedding to Shenita Jones at what the invite called "the Wilson estate.” "I have people trespassing on my property,” a fed-up Nathan Finkel told a 911 dispatcher. "And they keep harassing me, calling me. They say they’re having a wedding here and it’s God’s message. I don’t know what’s going on. All I want is [for] it to stop. And they’re sitting at my property right at the front gate right now.” Wilson, his bride and their guests never made it onto the sprawling $5.7 million property. Two police officers showed up that morning and told Wilson to hit the road. He was not charged with a crime. He declined to comment Tuesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many brought charcoal grills inside or ran cars in enclosed spaces, either unaware of the dangers or too cold to think rationally. Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
