Nor'easter strengthens off East Coast, bringing heavy rain and coastal flooding
Nor’Easter is heading towards the east coast so reminder that if you have any other option DO NOT put your body in flood water. It has raw sewage, gasoline, chemicals, medical waste, radiological waste and more — anything the water touches. People die from infections after contact with it.
That is just to name a few things! Flood water is DISGUSTING. If for some reason you have no choice but to enter it, shower *as soon as possible* afterwards and pay special attention to any open wounds on your body.
must... not... take... the... forbidden... bath...
also you have no idea what's under those waters and manholes tend to lift up during flooding
As a survivor of many hurricanes including Katrina/Rita, I can confirm this wholeheartedly.
This is so true. We had a flood when I was at college, and there several students who made the evening news by using traffic lights to dive into a flooded intersection at an underpass. One of whom was friends with my GF, so we found out that all of them ended up hospitalized with skin infections. 😬
I'll also add people are really bad at judging how fast deep water is moving and something can look like it's moving slow but has enough force due to how deep it is to sweep you off your feet.

Stay safe… my sister was going to an AC/DC concert in Jersey but they had to cancel due to high winds.
That’s beautiful but I hope your safe😊
