So I live in one of the counties in West Virginia that has been affected by this chemical leak and the water ban. Kind big on the news and national news right now. The people around here have gone completely batshit nuts. Where I live we don't get our water from the company that is affected by this, but apparently no one around here can read their water bill. The leak happened nearly 3 hour drive from here, in a completely different river than the one the local PSD gets our water from.
I went out to do some shopping, get some milk and other groceries and of course check for Joes. While I was out the water ban was extended to this county and I didn't know that. Wal-Mart, Kroger, you name it was mobbed with 100s or even 1,000s of people. Going completely crazy grabbing water. Looked like something out of a disaster movie. Even saw people fighting over water, just plain nuts. The kicker is our water isn't affected. edit: I probably should of mentioned a bit more about whats going on since I think it's only on the local news. The Governor has declared a state of emergency for 9 counties in West Virginia, the bulk of the public water in those counties has been shut off and stores are completely sold out of bottled water all across the state even in counties unaffected. Some areas there are full scale panics going on, the police is being sent out to keep the peace and the WV National Guard has been called up, they're going to set up water supply stations and other wise help out, FEMA and Homeland security is setting up as well, it's crazy. Never seen it like this before it's like a major disaster happened. Last edited by Trigue; 01-10-2014 at 01:12 AM.. |
