I have 2 sisters and 2 nieces with young families in the affected areas (densely populated) of NC. They are all about 80 miles from here.
We have offered to put them up here or deliver water and other supplies to them this morning.
It will be interesting to see if they learn how to spell readiness.

I was just thinking. They all live in very large homes on very small lots.
We live in a modest home on 5 acres all usable for food production.
They have no alternative H2O supply. We have a well with electric and hand pumps, and a very clean running creek about 75 yards west. The creek is monitored because it flows into the Greensboro H2O supply.

This is a message from the Orange Water and Sewer Authority notification system:

ORANGE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT ORDERS NO USE OF OWASA WATER

OWASA Customers ordered to not drink or use water

Do Not Drink Order

Due to low pressure in the OWASA service area we are not sure if the water is safe for consumption. Until testing has been completed, the Orange County Health Department is issuing a Do Not Drink order. Boiling water is not recommended. Only bottled water is recommended.

Do Not Use Order

Because of the water main break and the subsequent shortage, we are also issuing a Do Not Use order. Bottled water should be used for all water needs including flushing toilets, washing hands, cooking, etc…

Restaurants

All restaurants served by OWASA are being ordered closed by the Orange County Health Director.
