Cities Sinking Beneath The Water

[post_page_title]Key West, Florida[/post_page_title]
Key West, Florida is the southernmost point of the Continental United States. The island is home many historic landmarks, including Ernest Hemingway’s house and the famous Duval Street. The island essentially sits on top of a rock and the local government is doing everything it can to prevent it from sinking beneath the Atlantic Ocean. Key West has a drainage problem and often falls victim to rain water and hurricanes, and the low, flat elevation of the island doesn’t help it’s chance of survival. The giant, sinking stone still has another 50 years before it vanishes but maybe, just maybe, the reservoirs and pipelines being installed can save the historic key from vanishing into the ocean depths.
