MIAMI – Over the weekend and early this week, we noticed heavy rain that inundated components of South Florida.
Florida International University professor, Dr. Mike Sukop, from the Earth and Environment division known as the water stage rise worrisome.
Sukop stated, “We have sea level rising, we have storm frequency increasing, we have storm intensity increasing. It’s worrisome… So, sea level rise transmits inland to the groundwater so that leaves less room in the ground to store the rainfall.”
Dr. Sukop stated he noticed locations flood that usually have not had many points up to now like Little Haiti.
He stated the rain occasion is one thing that we see as soon as each 50 years and has main issues about low-lying areas like Cutler Bay.
Sukop instructed CBS 4 that he believes we need to elevate the road ranges and in addition place a bigger emphasis on climate change.
