Regarding sewage, you raise an important point.

Last time we had a flooding event I rode the bayou upstream on my mountain bike until it got too deep.

I made it to the Southwest waste treatment plant and could see the water was almost to the lip of giant open settling ponds.

In the 2015 Memorial Day flooding a nearby plant released 100,000 gallons of raw sewage. The water was pushing into some neighborhoods and sucking out of other neighborhoods as it went downstream, so I’m sure it went everywhere. I live in one of those neighborhoods.

May very well prove to be toxic and dangerous waters as the floods move in. From Alligators and other animal life being dislocated to sewers and unknown chemicals fro garages to factories getting into the waters.

Raw sewage in flood waters...add that to the fire ants, snakes and other charming critters seeking dry ground and shelter. Then there is possible electrocution with downed live wires in flood water. Flooding is bad news—and hazardous to health.
