Karen, May I suggest that one could also see in it some good news--that when the electricity goes out, one still has a day or so postpone the inevitable by filling up a couple of buckets, the pool, the bathtub... If everyone starts stockpiling water once the electricity goes off, the supply certainly won't last 36 hours. That estimate was based on normal winter demand. (In summer we wouldn't make it 18 hours without a drastic reduction in usage.) Given the importance of water to existence, and given the low cost of storing water, why on earth would anyone wait until it hits the fan to fill "up a couple of buckets, the pool, the bathtub..."? Icarian personality, perhaps? Best, O. H.
