DHMO Update - Monetary Costs
It's the dirty secret that FEMA and the Insurance companies want to cover up, but DHMO contamination was one of the major clean-up problems with Hurrican Katrina. Before anything else could be done in New Orleans in particular, the DHMO had to be removed. You see, people can't live in DHMO. Clean up crews can even begin their jobs until the DHMO is removed.
And structures, particularly wooden structures don't do well in a DHMO rich environment. DHMO removal is costly and time consuming, even in a city like New Orleans that already had DHMO removal apparatus in place.
Yet the Katrina and New Orleans situation isn't unique. Every year DHMO causes millions of dollars of damage to structures and personal property. The following chart shows the monetary cost of DHMO destruction in the U.S. all the way back to 1936. Please note that records from around 1980 are missing, undoubtedly destroyed by DHMO contamination. If you think DHMO is tough on structures, you should see what it does to paper.

Just wondering if you've ever read the snopes.com about this... apparently the city of Alisa Viejo, CA almost put a ban of DHMO to a vote a few years back. It's about time a government agency attempts to do something useful!
