POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. -- Frank Taylor's basement may look dry after sucking out three feet of water and venting it out with fans and a dehumidifier, but FEMA officials tell him there's a long road ahead.

"This'll probably take six, seven months to dry up. He said it's nothing that's going to dry up in two weeks," explained Taylor.

The big worry for most homeowners is mold. Bleach and other cleaning products can be used to get rid of small quantities, but a big chunk of the fight is against humidity.
