If 40% of NO is dry, what would be the reason to force the residents out that aren't in sewer water?

Playing devil's advocate, no gas or electricity for 8 weeks. Possibly no consistent means to supply them with food and water over this period or supply them with normal support like fire or police services.

An expert says that the water was 45,000 times normal levels. If ingested, this could lead to severe health problems. Let them know that and if they stay, what elese can you do?

" no gas or electricity for 8 weeks. Possibly no consistent means to supply them with food and water over this period or supply them with normal support like fire or police services."

Parts have already been restored with electricity. Saw it on Nightline last night.


How does the forcing of people off viable property relate with the recent US Supreme ruling on takings? Any?

It happened in Florida last year.
Almost 2 million homes lost electricity, some for more than 12 weeks, but nobody gave me a $2,000 debit card.

Along with no electric goes no gas, no water and canned food.
You get a generator, you adjust, and you don't blame the authorities for the weather.
