I just finished reading the minutes from the OEP meeting concerning Cameron, Creole, Hackberry, basically the whole area and I was both shocked and impressed, they advised citizens that we are still under a mandatory evacuation and we won't be able to return until it's safe and then they went down the usual list of hazards, snakes, alligators, chemicals...but what impressed me is they ended with a note about bacteria in the standing water that could affect the young, old and those with a compromised immune system such as persons with auto-immune diseases. I think it will in all probability be quite some time before we can get in there, because they actually moved all court cases from the area to a court house up north instead of just suspending court and I've still gotten no mail at either place since two days before the storm.
