Correction

A correction about my blog on the Moneague lake…

It’s not a new feature, in that the lake has been in existence as a small pond since the discovery of Jamaica, and the rising of the waters has been previously noted since at least the 18th century. The last time the waters rose was either in 1933 or 1971. The 1933 event had the waters sticking around for about 4 years, finally draining out in 1937. The Doc center has a geological report that I’m going through which was written in 1972 and was examining whether or not the lake could be made permanent…interesting, since the goal these days is how soon can we be rid of it (I think). I don’t know why people built their houses so far down in that vale…guess they either forgot about the lake or thought it wouldn’t happen again.
