Pak40 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 This is a bitter lesson that many of us learned in New Orleans after Katrina. Imagine your fridge and freezer packed full of meat, seafood, and frozen food - then unplug your fridge and let it sit for over a month in 95 degree weather. The smell that comes out of there is just the the foulest odor ever. Frozen dinners were the worst; they just turn to this gray liquid that has in indescribably bad smell. Most people were wise and didn't even open the fridge when they finally got back to New Orleans; they just taped it with duct tape and brought it to the curb for the trash trucks to pick up. Even if you could brave the cleaning process, it's not worth keeping the fridge due to the fact that you'd never get the smell out of it. Also the fruit flies that breed in there are a force to reckon with. They make there way back into the motor and keep breeding there. Nasty. All the above is nothing compare to the millions of pounds of chicken lost by New Orleans Cold Storage facility after Katrina: http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/10/11/blog.tues/index.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Authorities say the worker who cleaned the fridge didn’t need treatment — she can’t smell because of allergies. LOL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
