I believe I noticed Secretary Sebelius at the White House Correspondence Dinner yesterday evening and she looked lovely as always.
The good Secretary may very well find her hands full when the oil finds its way into the food chain of the citizens that live among the bayous and back bays.
Those people don't always 'go shopping' for their groceries and may be very vulnerable to the ingestion of contaminated wildlife and fish..
Local health departments, with the help of volunteers could form an outreach to local citizens to bring them a healthy alternative to their regular diets.
Seven dead in Tennessee floods (see link below)
(Reuters) - Severe storms and flash floods left seven people dead in Tennessee over the weekend as rising river waters closed portions of interstate highways leading in and out of Nashville.
The storms lifted levels of the Cumberland River that runs through Nashville as well as smaller tributaries and creeks.
The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency asked the state's Army National Guard on Sunday for assistance in rescue operations. There was no immediate report of injuries.
Nashville Mayor Karl Dean declared a state of emergency for the metropolitan area of Davidson County, where hundreds of people had been rescued from the raging waters and 45,000 people remained without power on Sunday.
"All of our major creeks and the Cumberland River are near flood level, if not at flood level. The ground is entirely saturated, and the rain continues to fall. There's nowhere for the water to go," Dean said in a statement.
More thunderstorms were expected in the region, and emergency officials were urging people not to travel unless absolutely necessary.
