Fay Causing Major Sewage Problems for Parts of Florida

(NBC News Channel) -- On top of dealing with flooded streets, residents of Jensen Beach, Florida have been dealing with a dirty dilemma. Ever since Fay approached the region, going to the bathroom or taking a shower has become a filthy proposition.

Residents say they've never seen the water like this, and they blame developers and neglected ditches as the reason why they are all suddenly sitting in a flood zone.

"It reeks. And our neighbor, her septic is all messed up and it's all going to be in the water. The whole street is going to be filled with feces. And it's just sick," said Meghan Canales.
