Build a power annex building above grade or even elevated with parking on grade under it. At the same time go with natural gas boilers instead of those mega expensive electric boilers.

The Sheriff's Dept. is a 24-hour facility. Surely, people saw what was happening. I work downtown and Palafox St. floods. When I see it happening, I go out and move my vehicle, even if I do get wet doing it. I don’t understand why those expensive vehicles were not moved. The Sheriff’s Dept. is a 24-hour facility.

BUT ,they are a govt. workers ,who will likely get raises. I worked about 1/2 a mile from the jail for 2 decades and saw flooding many times, many clues were given. Why are people so surprised? It will happen again, Whoever OKed building that building there should be fired and sued.

Too small pipes to remove water in this sandy soil...the pipes are half full of sand. The pumps are located where they will be under water so they are useless even if they use a generator when the power goes out. Maybe they need to spend some money on a good drainage system instead of declaring an emergency every time it floods. Besides, look at all the jobs it would create for people!

Also as for a basement,that jail was a hospital before it was a jail, it was not built that way to be a jail. And with a hurricane you have days to prepare where no body had any idea the area was behind the jail would fill up 12 feet deep in a couple of hours. I personally think that everyone involved did an outstanding job to get power and air conditioning back to the jail within 2 days and no one had to be evacuated..I have to give the people involved a thumbs up..

For some reason it didn't work. There is a pump that is in place to remove the water when it reaches a certain level. For some reason it didn’t work.

Seems to me that we would get more accomplished if it was a total team effort. I wonder why Rep. Broxson was not interested in being a member of the delegation supporting our counties?

Wake up people. If we collectively ask for assistance along with Senators and lawmakers, we get the assistance/relief as well! The longer they take to declare this disaster a DISASTER, the more mold grows and the higher your debt becomes! P.S. good luck ever selling your homes if they were affected by this disaster. i have flood insurance, so i am one of the lucky ones if thats what you want to call it. i will STILL have to pay money out of pocket for a home I am upside down in. you sheeple are sitting there waiting, probably updating your facebook statuses instead of emailing the governor Rick Scott, asking him to get his thumb out of his backside.
