It had been a long day and my last appointment was in Caroline County. I was ready to go home. I received a text from my wife, Christine, that we don't have water. There was a main water line break in our part of the county. I can't remember the last time I was without public water. On my way home I stopped at Walmart and picked up 4 gallons of water. As I turned onto my street I could see the work lights and the workers doing their thing.
Being without water sure is inconvenient. I wasn't prepared. I used to make fun of people when I'd see 20 one gallon jugs of water under their house. I have a different perspective now. I'm going to be one of those people. Well... not anytime soon, apparently. I'm going to start saving our milk jugs for water. Yeah, I know. This is like closing the barn doors after the horses have run away. Better late than never.
FEMA has a web site called "Ready." The web address is http://www.ready.gov. There is a lot of good information there. I'm going to start building my disaster kit. I'm going to feel like a survivalist, but I will be prepared for the next inconvenience. I even signed up for e-mails from FEMA. You should, too.
