Florida flooding & the health risks imposed [#Debby]



This posting is not my own idea ~ I just read this on the local weather/news website and wanted to share it.

With the flooding from Tropical Storm Debby here in Florida, more people are using alternate means of transportation, as in human-powered: walking, biking etc. due to cars not being able to get down streets, over bridges etc.
Unknowingly however, flood waters can contain fecal matter, bacteria, viruses etc.

Be safe our there, Florida.
