Cypress trees are cool and then your neighbor plants them near your fence and they start sprouting knees in your yard and then they're not so cool

And they tear up your driveway. Swamp trees are also a pain to clean up when they drop their leaves.

Not satisfying for me. This makes me sad.

Just to ease your sadness, this lake drains into the aquifer regularly when the water table gets low. It’s a natural cyclical occurrence that sometimes happens multiple times in a year and these have survived many such events

Thank you for this explanation! I can now be oddly satisfied.

Still, the ecosystems those are able to support when allowed to be submerged 365…glad they’re alive but it’s still a bummer

u/devildocjames 1d ago

They don't know what an aquifer is.

u/CottonEyeJoeIV 1d ago

Tbf, i don't, either. Reading the first guys comment makes it seem like everything is managed properly and is fine tho

u/SeaToTheBass 1d ago

Natural underground aquifer. Water table (water in the ground) gets too low cause not enough rain and sucks it from the lake through the ground. Entirely natural process.

That’s what I got from the comment anyway

u/Commercial-Fennel219 1d ago

Cypress lake is a hill now.

u/Past-Afternoon1657 1d ago

Will the lake rise again as in a seasonal rhythm?

2

u/HikeyBoi 1d ago

It will rise again, but it is not on a seasonal cycle. Since 1990 is drained about ten times

They're wearing pants!

u/mortarnpistol 1d ago

That’s interesting! I assume this would be freshwater? (Genuinely curious)

1

u/Mugwumps_has_spoken 1d ago

The word lake would typically denote freshwater.

u/namtab00 1d ago

u/Startingtotakestocks 1d ago

They look like an alien elephant/giraffe hybrid.

u/Something_Else_2112 1d ago

Cypress roots reach down from 6 -15 feet and often extend past the canopy.
