Must smell real nice. I can at least flush the johns using pool water. Someone comes here about now trying this trick could get shot and acquitted using the looters will be shot on sught rules.
Was that an intended pun? Flush them anyway you can, friend and on Nov 2. I pray things get cleared up for you all in Florida ASAP.
"Say what you will about Canada..."
but you still have the French!

Wouldn't that be 15.16 L toilets?
Not intentional but clearely appropriate.
Musta been a real bowlwinder, eh?
