05 - The Silver Lining
|
A day dawns with a line of thunderstorms in the eastern sky. During the wet season, two opposite sea breezes, from the Atlantic Ocean to the east and from the Gulf of Mexico to the west, intersect over the Everglades. These two breezes, heavy with moisture, collide, and severe thunderstorms form nearly every late spring and summer afternoon. After months without rain through the winter, these storms can dump over an inch of rain in a matter of minutes flooding prairies of the northern Everglades.
