"Floodwaters from the east will carry toxic waste from the "Industrial Canal" area, nicknamed after the chemical plants there. From the west, floodwaters would flow through the Norco Destrehan Industrial Complex, which includes refineries and chemical plants, said van Heerden, who has studied computer models about the impact of a strong hurricane for four years.
"These chemical plants are going to start flying apart, just as the other buildings do," he predicted. "So, we have the potential for release of benzene, hydrochloric acid, chlorine and so on."
That could result in severe air and water pollution, he said."

Dr. Gardner on FNC was also saying how much really dangerous infection will spread from the dead animal and human bodies on which the flies will be feeding. This is worse than a horror movie. Prayers for quelling the seas and wind and protection of the fearful thousands awaiting this storm.
