I thought Mr. Appearing Presidential fixed all of this yesterday. I just saw a news “teaser” from NY with a woman screaming that they were cold and hungry and that they had been abandoned and were all going to die. I wonder why Barry always heads out to Vegas when people are dying. That’s weird.

Turns out journalists are as knowledgable about water as they are about firearms. All water out of a hydrant runs brown until it's flushed. Something about water sitting in a cast-iron fixture/cast-iron pipes. Duh.
Something the J-school grad didn't mention is that boiled water tastes flat.
To help fix that, you can pour it between a couple of containers to aereate it and cool it at the same time. Tastes much better and is more palatable to children.

That’s only a partial listing of what can be found in NYC floodwaters.

More surprising than the fact that flood water is nasty is that any people can be found who expect it to be drinkable.
Such people should not be allowed to drive or carry anything sharp.

and smelt chlorine in it What the hell is this?
Is that different from regular old chlorine? I know if you leave smelt laying around it will develop an ammonia odor...but chlorine?

How can you boil water if your power is out? What if all the supplies you prepared were washed away in the surge?

And this is news because? These contaminants are ALWAYS found in flood waters and their residue.
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
Maybe some lemonade made using this water and given to the MSM would serve them right.

I’m surprised that’s all they found. Given that the flood entered places in the city that haven’t seen water or sunlight in years if ever (subway and road tunnels among others) I would have expected all kinds of contaminants, like diesel soot, heavy metals, PCBs, asbestos etc etc.

More reason to stay home rather than getting out in it.
