Lack of access to the usual water source can be a major problem for many, even
in my area where many homes feature their own wells.

But, I have a stash of the small bottled kind and keep a few large jugs of
water around.  It's a relief to have some spare water even just for flushing.
Yesterday I could get my water in town at the shop where the town water is
gravity-fed from a nearby lake to a water tower.

The winds yesterday could have practically been called a hurricane. But guess
anything under 100mph is just a "Storm With No Name".
