It's a very strange phenomenon, for sure. Oddly enough it usually isn't a disaster. In 2023 there was flooding but remember - this is in the middle of the desert. So most people think desert = no rain = no flooding. Problem is, if it rains on the desert, the ground where people are camping/parking is compact and doesn't really absorb the water very well, leaving it no place to go. It doesn't take a lot of rain to flood the desert.

There was a woman who gave birth there this year, who didn't even know she was pregnant. And another person found dead in a pool of blood that is being investigated as a homicide.

Of course all that would be considered "just another Tuesday in the Ocala Forest" so I dunno what to tell ya.

People are strange.
