What is the green flash of the Florida keys?
There are few places in the world where a person can watch the sun rise out of the ocean and set back into the ocean in the same day and have a mild enough climate to be able to enjoy such majestic sights in perfect weather. Florida being a peninsula has the advantage of two huge bodies of water on each side and the farther south you go, the shorter the distance to experience such a grandiose sight.
The Florida Keys offers several campsites where that very image is available; being able to watch the explosion of bright yellows, oranges, pinks and blues light up the sky first thing in the morning and again fall into the sea at night. As children watch this gorgeous spectacle they wonder why they don't see steam coming out of the water as the ocean engulfs our huge ball of fire and swallows it for 12 hours.
The famous Green Flash Phenomenon has only been seen by some and it takes place at sunset, when the apex of the top of the sun reaches its disappearing point into the ocean, a green flash of light dances off the water to give a natural firework farewell to our life giving sun.
A beautiful part of outdoor living is knowing that you become one with nature and your desire to protect it solidifies in your attitude toward it. South Florida has dozens of ways to enjoy what our planet offers with hundreds of types of birds, animals, fish and of course reptiles including the famous Florida Alligator. In camping out and learning more about Mother Earth, and teaching our children to do the same, we support the creation of knowledge that will help put an end to our own destruction of our only home, Planet Earth.

When are the Floridian Peninsulas and the Florida Keys going to be under water?
It is not possible to say with any certainty what will happen to Florida in the future. Here is information on rising sea levels: The Fourth Report of the IPCC (The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), Climate Change 2007, said:
- Losses from the land-based ice-sheets of Greenland and Antarctica have very likely (>90%) contributed to sea level rise between 1993 and 2003.
- Ocean warming causes seawater to expand, which contributes to sea level rising.
- Sea level rose at an average rate of about 1.8 mm/year during the years 1961-2003. The rise in sea level during 1993-2003 was at an average rate of 3.1 mm/year. It is not clear whether this is a long-term trend or just variability.
It is saying that sea levels are rising, but it doesn't know if the recent 3 mm a year will continue or not. If it stays at that rate that means 3 cm in ten years, and 30 cm in 100 years. (Thirty cm is about one foot.) One foot of sea level rise would certainly flood some low lying coastal areas of Florida.

How do you find out more about School 4 in Jacksonville Florida?
http://www.jacksonville.com/community/cc/daonline/stories/040402/021302125835.shtml Annie Lytle School Better known as School Four Legend: There are several explanations of why the school is haunted. Some say that there was a furnace explosion back in the '60s that killed several children, a few teachers, and a janitor. Others say that the principal was a cannibal, and that students who fell asleep in class were sent to him, and that he then gutted and hung them in the closet of an unused room. Still others say that the principal went on a crazed killing spree. Status: There are no records of anything concerning Annie Lytle until the late 90's, when Atkinson and Knight bought it to turn into condominiums. There is no evidence of any crazy, cannibalistic principal or a furnace explosion, but there is something definitely creepy about the old place, and plenty of people believe that it is haunted. Evidence: Built in 1917, the building is now falling to pieces inside. It is a refuge from the weather for many of Riverside's homeless, as well as an ''initiation'' site for teens. There has been evidence of dark religious rituals being performed there, and there was a fire in 1995 -long after the building had been shut down and labeled condemned- that was later reported as being started by homeless people. Although the legends are not true, it is still widely known among Jacksonville's youth as 'the most haunted place in town.'
