Science

I mean, it was a huge problem in NOLA, too, but my experience in MS included learning about all the horrible things that were flooded and released: JPL jet fuel, Agent Orange from the SeaBee facility, and of course every household cleaner and every damaged car went into the ocean and groundwater. I lived in Biloxi and went to a meeting about this Pascagoula, the next county over. I was interviewed there by some local press, and asked why I cared about what happened outside my county. I replied that water doesn’t recognize county lines. The lightbulb went on all over the reporter’s face; this literally had never occurred to him. Anyway… cool word, wish it didn’t have to exist.
