Yesterday morning they brought a tanker of water to distribute near my farm. We were limited to four gallons so we are are using three for drinking and one to wash our hands. There will be another distribution at 8am. The fire dept is supplying water for livestock but you have to bring your own containers. My neighbor breeds and shows quarter horses and has ~fifteen horses; considering horses can drink ten gallons of water per day that's a lot of water. I'd try to keep clean water for foals and gestating mares.
This has really brought out the stupid in people. They are posting on Facebook it was Obama's fault because he hates coal (the chemical is used to process coal), it was terrorism, it was punishment from god, et cetera.
We had three lines yesterday waiting for our turns for the tanker and two stupid *****es were smoking standing in line. My asthma doesn't tolerate that, I can't even go down the aisle of laundry detergents in stores. They were about ten yards from me and if they had gotten any closer to me I was going to tell them to cease and desist (but dumb it down to redneck speak). There were two troopers and two sheriffs there and I really was not wanting to go to jail for starting a brawl but I won't put up with that sh**.
