It's a bacterial, or septic, soup, but it's not a toxic soup.

The toxic soup is touching every square inch of the flooded areas,

It is contaminated with human and animal waste. But there isn't this sort of toxic soup out there,

We'll get rid of the most dangerous stuff first. The most difficult part is going to be when people start to realize you have entire homes that are going to be classified as debris.

This is not an easy process of just going in and knocking things down or getting it in one sweep. We'll have to go in and remove everything from each house - chemicals, furniture, whatever is there.

(Cleaning septic tanks) is really not that bad. I've smelled much worse.
