During the LGM the Laurentide Ice Sheet covered most of northern North America while Beringia connected Siberia to Alaska in 1973 late American geoscientist Paul S Martin proposed a "blitzkrieg" colonization of the Americas by which Clovis hunters migrated into North America around 13,000 years ago in a single wave through an ice-free corridor in the ice sheet and "spread southward explosively briefly attaining a density sufficiently large to overkill much of their prey." Others later proposed a "three-wave" migration over the Bering Land Bridge These hypotheses remained the long-held view regarding the settlement of the Americas a view challenged by more recent archaeological discoveries: the oldest archaeological sites in the Americas have been found in South America; sites in north-east Siberia report virtually no human presence there during the LGM; and most Clovis artefacts have been found in eastern North America along the Atlantic coast Furthermore colonisation models based on mtDNA yDNA and atDNA data respectively support neither the "blitzkrieg" nor the "three-wave" hypotheses but they also deliver mutually ambiguous results Contradictory data from archaeology and genetics will most likely deliver future hypotheses that will eventually confirm each other a proposed route across the Pacific to South America could explain early South American finds and another hypothesis proposes a northern path through the Canadian Arctic and down the North American Atlantic coast Early settlements across the Atlantic have been suggested by alternative theories ranging from purely hypothetical to mostly disputed including the Solutrean hypothesis and some of the Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact theories, A turning point came for development in the Everglades at the proposal in the late 1960s for an expanded airport after Miami International Airport outgrew its capacities the new jetport was planned to be larger than O'Hare Dulles JFK and LAX airports combined,[citation needed] and the chosen location was 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Everglades National Park the first sentence of the U.S Department of Interior study of the environmental impact of the jetport read "Development of the proposed jetport and its attendant facilities . will inexorably destroy the south Florida ecosystem and thus the Everglades National Park" When studies indicated the proposed jetport would create 4,000,000 US gallons (15,000,000 L) of raw sewage a day and 10,000 short tons (9,100 t) of jet engine pollutants a year the project met staunch opposition the New York Times called it a "blueprint for disaster" and Wisconsin senator Gaylord Nelson wrote to President Richard Nixon voicing his opposition: "It is a test of whether or not we are really committed in this country to protecting our environment." Governor Claude Kirk withdrew his support for the project and Marjory Stoneman Douglas was persuaded at 79 years old to go on tour to give hundreds of speeches against it Nixon instead established Big Cypress National Preserve announcing it in the Special Message to the Congress Outlining the 1972 Environmental Program, Although the railroads lifted the embargo in May 1926 the boom nevertheless fizzled out Disaster then followed in the shape of the September 1926 Miami Hurricane which drove many developers into bankruptcy the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane and the Wall Street Crash of 1929 continued the catastrophic downward economic trend and the Florida land boom was officially over as the Great Depression began the depression and the devastating arrival of the Mediterranean fruit fly a year later destroyed both the tourist and citrus industries upon which Florida depended In a few years an idyllic tropical paradise had been transformed into a bleak humid remote area with few economic prospects Florida's economy would not recover until World War II Daytona International Speedway is home to various auto racing events. . .

Precipitation during the wet season is primarily caused by air mass thunderstorms and the easterly flow out of the subtropical high (Bermuda High) Intense daytime heating of the ground causes the warm moist tropical air to rise creating the afternoon thundershowers typical of tropical climates 2:00 pm is the mean time of daily thundershowers across South Florida and the Everglades Late in the wet season (August and September) precipitation levels reach their highest levels as tropical depressions and lows add to daily rainfall Occasionally tropical lows can become severe tropical cyclones and cause significant damage when the make landfall across south Florida Tropical storms average one a year and major hurricanes about once every ten years Between 1871 and 1981 138 tropical cyclones struck directly over or close to the Everglades Strong winds from these storms disperse plant seeds and replenish mangrove forests coral reefs and other ecosystems Dramatic fluctuations in precipitation are characteristic of the South Florida climate Droughts floods and tropical cyclones are part of the natural water system in the Everglades.
