Brighteyes. City water is not immune to being lost. My daughter lost both electric and city water for 2 weeks. Hoping you will be ok. But please be as prepared as you can. If you have large pans that you use for water bath canning, even your pressure cooker. You can fill those and any other large pans you have as well as anything else you have that will hold water. Filling up bags and freezing them is a great idea as it will help keep your food frozen a bit longer. Just don’t open freezer or fridge doors anymore than you have to. We are about 35 miles inland from VA Beach. We have made out rather fair in past hurricanes. We have gone as long as 2 weeks without electric, but did fine. Will be praying that you and everyone else in the path of this storm will come out of this in good condition and learn from it as well. There is a tropical storm now forming in the gulf. So we will be watching that one as Dorian passes by and is done with. If you have 2 liter drink bottles, you can wash them really good and then fill them as well with water. I save all of those just for that purpose also. But have not filled them yet. Stay safe.
