[b]Mosquitoes and hurricanes are more likely to harm the expected 3,000-plus detainees and 100-member staff than are alligators and Burmese pythons.[/b] “The risk of mosquito-borne disease at this site is significant,” said Durland Fish, a professor emeritus of epidemiology at the Yale University School of Public Health. And the viruses detected during a mosquitos study he conducted in the Everglades — including at Big Cypress Swamp, where the detention center is located — can cause neurological damage, including encephalitis, or inflammation of the brain. “There’s no treatment for these,” Fish said.

According to the state’s emergency management director, Kevin Guthrie, the 158,000 square feet of housing is “a fully aluminum frame structure rated for winds of 110 miles an hour,” the top-end equivalent of a Category 2 hurricane. However, some building experts note that the site is in a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, where local code requires that a building’s entire envelope — including windows, doors and eaves — incorporates lab-tested, wind-resistant design. “The 110 mile an hour wind design hasn’t existed in Florida since Hurricane Andrew in 1992,” said Anthony Abbate, a professor and director of the MetroLAB in the School of Architecture at Florida Atlantic University. “Nowhere in the state of Florida is 110 acceptable, according to the Florida building code.” [In other words, the facility may not be safe or compliant with state regulations since a 110 mph wind resistance standard is outdated.]

But you forgot the craziest part...there is actually a sign that reads "Alligator Alcatraz". It's not a nickname or a joke.
