'Alligator Alcatraz", ready for a hurricane. Rain, not so much.
-
Alligator Alcatraz opened Tuesday without a water view. Then it rained. Shortly after President Donald Trump left the brand new detention facility to hold immigrants in the middle of the Everglades, a garden-variety South Florida summer rainstorm started. The water seeped into the site — the one that earlier in day the state’s top emergency chief had boasted was ready to withstand the winds of a “high-end” Category 2 hurricane — and streamed all over electrical cables on the floor. “For those people that don’t think we’re taking that into consideration. This is Florida, by the way,” Kevin Guthrie, executive director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, had told reporters earlier in the middle of Trump’s visit. “We have a hurricane plan.” But perhaps not a plan for about an inch-and-a-half of rain, which is what fell over the site on Tuesday afternoon, according to estimates from the National Weather Service in Miami.

I wonder who did the work and how they got the job?

But you probably already knew, or at least guessed that.

Well, it's going to be heavy rain in Florida today and tomorrow.
Six inches is forecast for the west coast.
This facility will have much more than one and a half inches fall on it.
I didn't know Trump had build this in the Everglades.
Clearly, the only reason to do it was PR, and it backfired.
