Some of the Floridians hardest hit by Irma live in a modest residential neighborhood near the river in Bonita Springs, where waist-deep polluted water flows through their houses. It could be a week before the massive pond of sewage-tainted storm water engulfing their properties recedes. They are saying, 'We have enough food and water, we are going to be fine,'" said Lt. Manny Hernandez of the Bonita Springs Fire Control & Rescue District. Some residents take up the offer and leave their homes, but others say, no, thank you. Hernandez said he figured there were about a dozen people in homes inundated with waste-deep water.
