Florida is a 500-mile limestone peninsula built on reclaimed swampland, surrounded by hurricanes, and sitting on top of ground that can collapse without warning. 23 million people live here anyway. Since 1980, the state has seen more billion-dollar weather disasters than anywhere else in the country. In this video, we count down 25 times Florida ignored its own geography and paid the price. From a Category 5 hurricane that showed entire neighborhoods were held together with staples instead of nails, to a mass grave the state tried to forget for 80 years. These are the disasters, collapses, and consequences that happen when you build on top of geology that was never on your side. ► Every US State’s Most Isolated Town (And Why People Live There) https://youtu.be/NzNNFm5xGAA ► 50 Geography Facts So Crazy They’ll Change How You See Oklahoma https://youtu.be/2sSIq1w_kkE ► 50 Insane Geography Facts About American Territories https://youtu.be/4E4HEPHxuww While we do our best to provide you with the most accurate information.
