David Hluzek who has been homeless for twenty years, surveys his camp in the woods of East Naples where the water has been rising about 4 inches per day since Saturday. "We gotta find a different place to live because this is getting a little extreme," he explained. "I'd just like to see the sun come out for five minutes." The water in the camp and in Hluzek's tent is almost a foot deep. According to the National Weather Service, there is a 70% chance of rain through Wednesday and a 30-40% chance the rest of the week.
p.s.- Mosquito/ mystery bites= the joy of rain feature hunting in Florida... I will never go swamp wading again without waders. My legs are still itching like crazy, but it was worth it.

whoa, looks like a crazy place/story. maybe there's more to it?
yikes! watch out for something called "poisonwood". i went on a self-induced bird watching expedition through a swamp in florida a few years ago and got some awful welts. those bites look bad... but at least you're staying positive!
and that last photo of him surrounded by the flooding is awesome. i want to see the insde of that tent!
Jennifer if you still read these comments I'm wondering if you could email me. David was one of my best friends years ago and I would like to get some info on him.
