re: Look what Irma made these people do

Still fill the tub. If anything just to flush the toilet, wash my face, and give whore baths to the wife.

Same thing that happens when you run out of bottled water, you are out of water.
Why are these people not just filling containers with water while they still have water service available. Buying bottled water is just a waste of time and money, I do the same thing as my parents did before there was such a thing as bottled water, we lived in a hurricane prone area, kept dedicated containers for emergency water, cost very little.

Storm is a week out and i saw somebody in tampa bitching about sandbags being out already. I already have fatigue.

All you need is trash bags and the dirt in your own backyard.

I think his point is that this far ahead of time, people can bottle their own water rather than wait in an hour long line.

No shite sherlock.

I have been through more than a couple hurricanes.

You fill whatever containers you have beforehand.

When i lived in nola, i had approx 25 gallons of empty clean milk jugs i filled as soon as the word "tropical distubance" was said.

That's why you don't waste your time in a line and go fill containers with tap water NOW. I have several 5 gal containers I fill to cook, drink, brush teeth, etc. I even keep a 50 gal drum I fill just to flush toilet.
