Fires scorch Big Cypress Everglades amid severe Florida drought
Acrid smoke from fires in South Florida blankets a drought parched region from Miami Beach to the Gulf Coast. Officials warned of strict water cuts, with half the state's population ordered to reduce use by 50 percent as eight counties face tightening restrictions. In Central Florida a new sinkhole near Windermere grew to about 30 feet wide and 12 feet deep. National and state fire crews fought spreads across Everglades channels, but wildlife losses were minimal while vegetation damage threatened deer food sources.
