      1. You would be amazed what people flush down their toilets
      2. You do realize there are other people in that flooded area too, right? Those “missing” folk? Hopefully all of them show up at a Waffle House two counties over. The reality is… many of them are still there in that horrific soup.

      It’s not about flushing them but I would imagine that graveyards that are below sea level have the bodies in mausoleums and many of those you can walk into so it would not surprise me that places near the ocean might have a rotted corpse.

      A sealed casket is buoyant. If a cemetery is flooded, caskets, especially of the recently deceased with disturbed soil, are known to rise through the soil and then dump their contents (bodies) into the floodwaters.
