<Without electricity we (OKC)have 36 hours of water>.Similiar case in most other cities. Thank you for verifying in this one case,what I have been warning the sleeping ones and the DUHnialists of.

'Humans cannot live more than 4 days without water'.

'Famous' quote: 'LA is 3 aquaducts away from deprivation of water'!
Translated: millions of people in LA could die very dead from thrist if the not unimaginable very fragile system of water supply/delivery is severely enough disrupted.

In my case, I spent uncountable hours speaking with engineers in various offices involved with water delivery and waste water systems, and found to my horror, they were almost all foreigners lacking much of a command of the language, and who seemed to be even more confused than I was regarding various related issues, and believe me, they are far more complex issues than the very flippant neophite statements made in several posts of those making remarks more for show than of substance and value.
