Diane Roberts: Nature has declared war on Florida

Tourist Beware! The streets of Miami and Fort Lauderdale flood on a distressingly regular basis; the drinking water in Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties is getting salty; mosquitoes infect you with Zika; toxic algae in our rivers, lakes and seas will give you a hideous rash, attack your nervous system, and impair your liver. here

Nature has declared war on Florida. Thanks, Rick Scott.
