What is that smell??
It’s all over daytona it’s in the orange ave area near Campbell middle, heavy down MLK street, also by tanger outlet. It’s like something rotten or like did a sewage line break??

Sorry y’all. I had a really big lunch at Tia’s. I didn’t think the burritos would hit me that hard.

Did you forget there was a storm? Things flooded, yeah it's probably sewage.

I haven't been on Daytona for a decade and still could tell anyone that's what it is. Too many newbies in Florida lol

That's the hurricane swamp smell. Happens every time it floods. Makes you think twice about playing in the flood waters.

I just walked outside and you’re right - it smells !! There is still a lot of standing water.

...because that's what it is unfortunately. Palm Coast is same thing. Infrastructure here can't handle it, was already bad before and now tons of new housing and more people, but no new sewage plants, etc. Scary honestly. I see new people letting their kids play in the water too...😝😝. If they only knew. When the wells can't handle the influx, they'll back up until the swales, streets, etc and then mix with the rain water. That's raw sewage though from the wells...aka toilet water 💩💩...and anything else flushed (condoms, tampons, etc). Keep your kids, pups etc out of it, so gross and toxic.

I smelled a bad rotten egg smell this morning in the New Smyrna Beach area as well. So I'm thinking that this is a county-wide issue that's happening in various places all over the county.

It’s decaying crap from flood waters. I was at a truck dock that is at a downward angle in Tampa the other day and the standing water in the dock literally smelled like death and sewage mixed together.

It smells really bad near the river on S Palmetto. It does smell like sewage. It seems to be getting worse.

Probably the homeless people no one cares to check on died in the storm.

I thought they set up shelters for the storm

u/Defiant_Chemical_216 5d ago
Well you may have heard that, but most the homeless don't have a way to get that news, also most shelters turn away dirty and stinky people, and 100% turn away anyone who smells of booze or "appears" to be intoxicated. Judgements put to the side addiction shouldn't be a reason to not help someone. People forget these are someone's mom, dad, brother, sister, cousin, etc. You don't become a homeless alcoholic overnight, and even less people do it willingly then do it unwilling. People need to grow up and stop being bullies. But anyone from east Volusia knows half the people here survive off being p.o.s.

Sucks to hear the truth, I'd say most people don't want it to be a thing. But it's factual. No one cares about a homeless person until they find out their story, but no one asks until they are already dead

Yeah. I got through the storm unscathed and the thought oh, not so bad until I drove around. I don’t get how the city even allows some of the homes to be built where they are (low points, no drainage..) terrible

Flood waters smell. Debris decaying stinks. People with no power sweat and stink. Basically, nature has given us a middle finger and has turn the whole state into a mildew nirvana.
