Bank will stock food and water for next New Year's Day

“We'll have food and umpteen gallons of water. In the unlikely event – we'll have customers and employees taken care of,” he said.

They've cleared a space for enough food and water to make the whole building self-sufficient, at least for a while.

“The joke was – we'll have a lot of saltines and peanut butter. We haven't come up with the details, it's just necessary so that if something happens we'll be taken care of,” Marrs said.
