   Hi Charles!

   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".
