Misleading Headline
imported from old blogger site
Well, Duh!- Floodwaters are dirty.
If you drink the dirty water, you may die.
If you wade the dirty water, and don't wash thoroughly, you may get sick.
If a powerline is in the water, you may get fried!
But a headline pandering to the 'scaremongering of the radical environmentalist' is misleading.
Yes, floodwaters are dirty and dangerous - and the authorities need to protect people - but the hazards of the toxic items in the water, pale in comparison to the danger of being swept away, or being caught in a building collapse, or being fried by a live electrical wire in the water.
Soap is the solution to the toxic mix in the water.

The strictly enforced restrictions are in place to keep residents away from floodwaters that could be hazardous due to electrical and structural concerns in the weakened homes, as well as contamination.If the current carries you away, you may die.
