[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 400270"] Yes Marg, some of it certainly was animal life (land, ocean, and fresh water). It was also (in our case) the lingering ocean smell (from the storm surge) which to me always has an undercurrent of watery-dead smell, plus you had massive power outages and therefore you had thousands of tons of food sitting in residences, stores, restaurants, casinos, container ships, etc., just rotting in the summer heat. Odd as it may seem, all those smells (and the human dead smell) are all different to me, but when I speak of the post-Katrina smell, I mean specifically the right-after smell of all of that combined. I can really sympathize with those having to deal with that, you might get used to floods and stay prepared for them, but I think the smell never loses its impact, and it's something you can never fully explain to someone that has not experienced it.
