In Miami for instance...if we have heavy rain before a hurricane or a wet one and the ground becomes saturated we lose our big beautiful ficus trees. Their roots go out shallow along the ground in a spider like pattern vs a tree whose roots go deep. So....when the ground is that wet the trees slide over with their roots high up in the air looking like some grotesque horror scene out of a movie. And, then in a few days they rot in the hot tropical sunshine their wet leaves decaying and turning moldy and then baking in the sun. Really. Very sad...they take a massive chunk out of the ground and sometimes the sidewalk sits askew up into the air ripped away with the root system.
Did that answer your question?
Chris is so cute with that so proper "best regards" signature, such a little boyscout.. a sweet man. Always gets back to letters so timely.
