Sandy Soil Myakka in Much of Florida Will Absorb Flood Water After Storm Surge About 10 Feet Below Projection

Translate:

Although the rainfall on central Florida today from hurricane Ian is proving prodigious, the sandy soil which predominates in the state will absorb the flood water at a much faster rate than into clayey soil, and the fearfully hyped storm surge at Fort Myers on the southwestern coast was only 6 feet high not the projected 12 to 18 feet, so the recovery and construction will proceed probably quickly.
