Some towns North of NO did well. Madisonville was not flooded but had a lot
of trees down. I have not heard about Slidell which is ver low lying.
Perhaps the large swamp south of town helped. No report on Covington nor
Mandeville??

Maybe before the water goes down too much homeowners should be tossing a
bag of "Pool Shock" into the home and closing the doors and windows. The
chlorine in the pool shock should kill all the bacteria and mold as well
as deodorize the interior. Wiring would still have to be replaced but it
shouldn't be a hazard for workers to work on the house.

Also, they should turn off the main breaker. In some cases if there is
no salt in the water drying out could be all that is needed.


It's almost impossible to get the smell of "waterlogged" out of a house,
and to really repair the damage. Plus, the possibility of mold is
tremendous. I think an an awful lot of housing will be razed.

I've heard almost nothing about the many small towns south of NO. I
suspect they were severely flooded and wind-damaged. The land there, for
the most part, is as flat as Paul Fritz's EEG.
