He’s right. You will have plenty of time to get out.
The daughter tells me that Walmart is selling water at not more than 1 cent per oz deep in the heart of Texas.
My daughter lived in Toledo, Ohio when some sort of algae bloom shut down the city water plant. Same thing happened. Prices shot through the roof and then none to be found. She came back to Pittsburgh and loaded-up.
Tell ya whut, get two glasses, fill one with tap, the other with filtered/bottled. See which one for yourself tastes better/cleaner!
Its a hurricane. That means LOTS OF RAIN. That’s water, lots of it.
I like putting pans out to collect rain, then run it thru a paper coffee filter. Good clean stuff, free, distilled.
Kinda dumb to fuss about lacking water precisely because there’s so much of it falling from the sky.
Rush had a really novel idea today. Drink your bottled water and don’t throw away the cap. Then go to the sink and find the thing called the “faucet”. Put the empty bottle under the faucet thing and fill the bottle with water. Put the cap back on.
“fill one with tap, the other with filtered/bottled. See which one for yourself tastes better/cleaner!”
It depends on what water comes out of your tap. At our last house, the water tasted better than bottled. At this house, it’s worse than bottled.
Actually, I missed that paragraph in the original post; I see it’s been covered. :(
Rush was being foolish today. Millions of people will be without tap water for a week at minimum. It’s 90 degrees with no air conditioning. A gallon per day per person, which in my opinion is low, for 7 days, for ~5.5 million people in Miami-Ddate, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, would be more than 38 million gallons. That’s the shortfall that must be stored ahead of time. Rush will get on his Gulfstream and leave the area. He has no idea what he’s talking about.
If you live in Pinellas Country - surrounded by water you need to get out sooner if you’re leaving... Wait until Saturday and you won’t be able to leave.
Better that people prepare BEFORE HAND.
If they all waited until the hurricane hit,people would die from more than the storm itself.
The panic buying would become a nightmare.
I know what it’s like even around here when a nor’easter is on its way. We’re in the teeth of the blizzard and idiots are out trying to stock up at the last minute, causing traffic jams and accidents everywhere.
Prep early and sit back out of harms way.
Forget that....for Desani and Aquafina the source is printed on the bottle. Most are municipal water supplies.
I do like Fiji water, but it’s a little pricey.
They need Amazon Pantry, food delivery right to the front door.
Sure, the alarmists will milk this storm for all it's worth, but it is still a bad @$$ storm.
Rush is quite the @$$-h@t. He often Spews for 15 minutes what could be said in 2 or 3.
Orlando had 3 consecutive hurricanes in about 25 days in 2005. When you consider how far inland Orlando is Hurricane Charlie was still packing a strong punch. Of course if you are 15 or 20 miles from the major damage you can squawk all day about how it was no big deal.
Bottom line is that everyone is responsible for their own safety, and it is prudent to prepare early.
As for Mr. Limbaugh - he could help by being less of a mocker when the possibility of a crisis is so real and so near.

Here in Florida it’s so flat that the water treatment plants flood when we get a hurricane. You get runoff from septic systems in the drinking water and it’s not safe to drink. I plan on filling as many containers as I can with tap water before the storm hits.
