We have 8, 5 gal. water jugs filled. 5 large pots, we keep our empty canning jars filled as I boil water to fill the jars we are not using and can them under pressure for 15 mins. So that makes for about 6 cases of bottled water I canned myself. I use it all year. I have the bathtub filled as we are waiting the hurricane. though we don’t expect to loose water but you never know. So better safe than sorry. We use a water bob for the tub so that is another 100 gals. of water. Then I have 4 collapsible water bags. They each hold 2.6 gals of water. We have been through hurricanes before but never lost water. My daughter has lost city water and had to get water from us for 2 weeks. She did have a pool in back yard and used that for flushing toilets though. She didn’t think you could loose city water, so was not prepared. We also have a well.
With the hurricane now heading toward us as well as a Cat 1 think goodness. We still have the potential to loose both water and electric.
