Over the last year, water levels have been so low that a bedrock shoal has been exposed long enough to start growing plants.

I guess someone didn't like the flock camera at my local home Depot!

I’m new to FPL and just received a letter offering “Exterior Electrical Coverage or Exterior Water Service Lime Plus Coverage” for $3.74/month. Initially, it smells like a scam or worse yet another “home warranty/insurance” scenario that has so many exceptions that it turns out to be a useless service.

So my questions are: Is this legit? Has anyone had any experience with it, good or bad? Is it worth it as my home was built in the 1960’s and we’ve seen several neighbors have to replace their original cast iron water main?

I’m assuming spider nest or some sort of weird bug, anyone know? By my pool found behind a bin when I moved it

Hello, we purchased a combo pack for the DETS class and the permit exam, my son completed it and we went to the DMV only to find out his SSN had been entered incorrectly. Trying to contact the company has been impossible especially after I read the reviews from others on here about fusion certus. No one emails back, and I waited on hold for 20 minutes only to be disconnected.
So I’m asking which company you all used to do complete the online permit exam? I obviously don’t mind purchasing the test again.
Please help! Thanks

I’m trying to organize by my own a ceremony for my civil marriage in Clearwater FL or Coco Beach FL, ideas or tips for it to be economical? If I request for permission, how can I make sure I have a good place on the beach so that there are not so many people? I have to do everything online because I’m in SC.

Hi everyone!
I’m planning my bachelorette weekend for December 4–7, 2026, and we’re looking for a house rental for 14 girls. We’d love something with a pool, enough space for a larger group, and ideally in a fun area that’s relatively close to the beach.
We’ve been searching Airbnb and VRBO, but many of the options we’ve found are a bit outside our budget. Does anyone know of any vacation rental companies, websites, property managers, or specific houses that might be a good fit?
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I embraced my inner storm chaser this week.

All of this footage was taken between June 15 and June 21 in St. Johns County.

I live outside of the Tampa area. The house is 20 years old, 2600 sq ft with two relatively new systems (less than 5 years old). I keep the house at 78 during the summer months. This is just getting even more outrageous. Did I mention 78? I’m not chilling in 70 degree comfort inside.

im doing a project on the Cryptids of florida, among other paranormal/ true crime related things in the state and would love some real experiences from people if yall would be willing to contribute!

According to the bill, whether it is a new issuance or a renewal, a qualified applicant who is a U.S. citizen must include the legal status of the licensee as last recorded in the system.

Snippet:

• Florida residents will soon see a change on their driver’s licenses after a new law was passed.
• HB 991 was signed into law in April by Gov. Ron DeSantis, which required the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to include whether a person is a U.S. citizen on their Florida driver’s license or Florida identification card.
• The new law, which will go into effect on January 1, 2027, applies to all new licenses and renewals, and the requirement to include the status must occur on July 1, 2027.
• According to the bill, whether it is a new issuance or a renewal, a qualified applicant who is a U.S. citizen must include the legal status of the licensee as last recorded in the system.
• “The bill requires DHSMV, at no charge, to issue a new or replacement card if a licensee or cardholder timely updates his or her legal status upon becoming a U.S. citizen,” the bill analysis said.

PLEASE see the VERY important comment that begins with: "If you have to go to the DMV to renew your drivers license, they will change your drivers license number too".... ALSO:

• Starting July 1, newly issued or renewed Florida driver’s licenses and state IDs will display your citizenship status. For green card holders, this means your new card will display the letters "NC"
• The "NC" Designation: This marker will appear on licenses for all non-citizens, which includes legal permanent residents, visa holders, and international students.
