Well, on their website they claim 10 million people are going to flood into DC. The question that occurred to me immediately is, where are 10 million extra people going to take a crap? That’s a huge amount of sudden strain (no pun intended) on the sanitation infrastructure. With the flooding that’s taking place, this seems like a recipe for an urban cholera outbreak that could overwhelm area hospitals and emergency responders.

And to think that it will be that much worse because suddenly there’s no coherent government structure to step in and help — no FEMA, no National Guard, no Corps of Engineers. Just a bunch of patriots and their bootstraps. And guns.
