Flood Update

A few of the warnings I've been seeing:

Parents please keep your children away from flooded areas as flood waters may be contaminated.
Do not wade or fish in the waters as it may contain bacteria and raw sewage.
Do not boat or swim in the water as there may be downed power lines and could lead to electrocution and/or drowning.
Stay away from fish and shellfish caught from the coasts of Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts.
Throw away all clothing that has been submersed in flood waters as they may contain high levels of contaminants.

Does anyone else get the feeling that we're edging closer to some kind of Apocalypse?!
