Episode 118: Haunted Lake Okeechobee Photodump

Image 01-02: Lake Okeechobee is the largest freshwater lake in Florida.The average depth of the lake is only 9 feet (2.7 meters) which creates seasonal grassy islands. TLDR: IT’S A REALLY BIG F’N LAKE! Image 03: The 1928 Lake Okeechobee Hurricane was the second most deadly in U.S. history, leaving over 2500 dead and hundreds missing. The Category 5 Hurricane had winds sustained at 160 MPH and flooding raised the lake waters over 20 feet. Image 04-05: The city was overwhelmed by corpses which had been tangled in debris and washed ashore. Truckloads of coffins navigated the streets. Image 06: In an effort to minimize the spread of disease, the health department urged survivors to burn corpses in mass burials. Image 07: Black migrant workers were the main victims of the flood. Records indicate a mass grave with over 674 workers was dug outside the city’s cemetery; however, the mass grave remained unmarked for 75 years until 2003. Image 08: Several abandoned “Ghost Towns” ,including Okeelanta, can be seen when the water is low enough to reveal seasonal islands. Image 09: When the water is low, thousands of skulls and human remains believed to be between 500-1000 years old can be seen. Several theories exist as to where the skeletons came from, but nobody knows for sure why they are there. Image 10: To prevent flooding, Lake Okeechobee’s drainage system has been heavily altered. As a direct result, toxic algae blooms wreak havoc across the lake and along the Florida coast. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK OF THIS EPISODE?! Would you go tubing on lake Okeechobee or would you rather make Pangea Dinosaur Again??

What is a notary?

notary

is a person who is responsible through their knowledge and law studies, to give a public nature to certain documents that are of private origin, and also gives them a legal certification through his signature.

It also acts as a witness that attests to everything that is contained in the document is real and has legal validity until it can be proved otherwise.

Most requested documents in the notaries in the United States.

While it is true that notaries certify a large number of documents of all kinds, in the United States there is always a great demand for the following applications:

- Deed of Trust: This is a very popular application where three parts of a whole are involved, the first place its goods at the disposal of the second so that it generates a benefit over time, and at the end, when the conditions dictated by the first figure are compiled, this transfers the administration to a third party.

A trust serves to ensure that certain conditions of a contract that involve elements such as the acquisition of a good, or money, are met, thus protecting its value, while the terms of the deal are given.

Real state closings

: This refers to the final part of a purchase or sale deal, where finally the seller gives the seller the property, for the value that has been agreed in advance. The date for this event is decided when the negotiations begin, meaning that both parties have a time limit to close the deal.

To reach this step, it is important that a series of events have been developed beforehand, leading to this final step, where the seller will deliver the keys to the property, while the buyer will deliver the money for his purchase.

Affidavits

: The affidavits are accounts of events by one of the witnesses of the event, where it is expressed orally or in writing that the information that is being granted is completely real and his truthfulness.

This is done in the presence of a jury that gives legal character to this document, the witness indicates under oath that everything that is contained there is the truth.

- Divorce papers: Divorce papers are among the most popular applications in Miami and South Florida as there is a high number of divorces in this region. Divorce lawyers are professionally prepared to write divorce papers that involve the conditions proposed by your client, or also the agreements reached by this with your counterpart. These documents specify very clearly under what conditions the events that follow will take place.

- Divorce modifications: To request a change in the conditions that have already been established in the official papers of a divorce, the professional should consider that before the criterion of the judge this is viable, because these requests should not be subject to the will of any of the ex-spouses but they must be based on situations that are quite serious and also unforeseen, which may need to be considered with much more attention.

- Statement of consent: A declaration of consent is a document through which a person expresses his willingness to assign to another or other persons, rights to perform some activities that are also theirs, but for various reasons can not perform for themselves. There are several types of consent statements, but to give them real value before the law, it is necessary that they are notarized.

Power of attorney

: This document is a certificate through which a person, who may be natural or judicial, designates another to be their legal representative before a certain number of matters, those specified in the document and for as long as the document indicate

It is important that to apply for any type of power, whoever carries out this process should not be limited by law, that is, if he/she is declared incapable of making these requests, for various reasons, this will not proceed.

- Rental Agreement: It is a document in which two parties are involved a landlord and a tenant, these parties set out certain conditions about the use of a property, or rather, the tenant, who is the one who is providing the service to the tenant, indicates in this document the conditions under which the person who is requesting to live in his property will live, this includes the value that the tenant must pay and the time in which he will stay there.

These are the most popular, but the truth is that notaries are able to cover thousands and thousands of documents that all their clients can request.

In the United States has always been taken into account the importance of notaries to facilitate all operations that want to perform all customers who for a large number of reasons require any service immediately. This has caused companies to always seek to innovate in the type of service they offer for all, this has resulted in Miami Notary Near Me, fulfilling the requirements of all customers throughout

Everglades Gatorland

A former roadside attraction in the middle of the Everglades

Before the shock of seeing the name of the long-dead town Okeelanta on my map app had completely faded, I was making a sharp U-turn and pulling into the patch of gravel and dirt that had once been the pavement in front of Everglades Gatorland.

Beginning in Miami’s Little Havana and ending at the small town of Havana near the Florida/Georgia border, US-27 cuts through the depths of the swamps and groves that make up Florida. Though it's now barely more than a rural afterthought, this was once the road millions of migrants in search of new opportunities and tourists in search of new sights and thrills would use to travel throughout the state of Florida. Because it was so heavily traveled, US-27 was once the backbone of Florida’s tourism industry and before Disney World reigned supreme, kitschy roadside attractions were the main draw for travelers.

Just south of the town of South Bay on US-27 is what remains of Everglades Gatorland, a small roadside zoo and souvenir shop which became known for their live alligators. Originally a gas station run by J.C. Bowen, former mayor of South Bay, and his wife Mary Lou, Everglades Gatorland was inspired by the many tourists who would stop to fuel up and ask where they can see alligators and other native Florida animals. This inspired the couple to open Everglades Gatorland in 1959 with alligators caught in the lake just behind the building. They would eventually expand and acquire exotic animals such as ocelots, coati and a king vulture.

In the 1960s, alligator poaching had intensified, poachers even making off with three alligators from Gatorland while the night watchman was off duty in 1965. The American Alligator was added to the first endangered species list in 1967 and that same year, Florida was the first in the country to establish new regulations regarding captive animals. These regulations set standards for minimum pen size for each group of animals, sanitation, and animal care requirements and put many roadside zoos out of business when they couldn't adhere. Everglades Gatorland, however, was able to meet the requirements and stay in business.

The establishment remained open and thriving throughout the 70's and 80's but by the 90's, there weren’t any gators left as the time and cost to care for them was no longer worth it. Business declined over the following years but the Bowens continued selling souvenirs to the rare tourist who would pass through before finally closing and surrendering the building to the Everglades from whence it came.

The former tourist attraction is now an empty building, roof long since fallen in, but otherwise empty. The only sign of what it once was are the sun-bleached letters on the front of the building advertising "LIVE ALLIGATORS!" This advertisement is likely correct, as there are no doubt countless alligators waiting nearby to make a meal out of anything or anyone that wanders blindly into their swamp.

I could vaguely see some smaller structures and pens out beyond the main building, lining a path that led to the very lake where the original gators of Gatorland had been caught. In the city, OG stands for "original gangster" but out here in the Everglades it means "original gator." The most hardcore of Gators. And they're probably all watching you at any given time from the rapidly encroaching growth that is just waiting to swallow up this place.
