uh if you look at google maps it's one of the only big giant wetland areas [Music] and so when we were thinking like where are snow kites going to show up next this was an obvious choice [Music] payne's prairie is a big kind of almost like a bowl like a bathtub and so you get water that drains from many different parts of the county into the prairie it has a sinkhole the alachua sink and that's one of the main drain for the bathtub if you will and if that can get clogged or partially clogged that really slows down drainage and then we had a couple big hurricanes and a lot of flooding and so payne's prairie is still pretty flooded from hurricanes from years ago all right if you're a meteorologist in florida it's going to be a busy weekend this morning the worst flooding in nearly a century so this is like 2016 and everyone was like oh it would be so cool if the kite showed up on the prairie and my friend isabelle was in town and she was like you want to go birding with me at sweetwater
