Obviously it's more than speculation since the circumstanial evidence all points to the Hurricane. But it's a start, I guess.



Tom, interesting point about them feeding the pythons. I'm just picturing a grad student dangling, with very long tongs, a Key Largo wood rat in the "hibernacula". Hey, then even if the pythons die as expected, they could say the pythons are catastrophic to the ecosystem.



Thanks,

Ed
