I live in the first non-effected city next to Toledo. By morning all of our water was bought up, along with Findlay’s water which is about 50 miles South of Toledo. Friends are scarping the bottoms of ice bins in my (safe water) city to get water to drink. You can’t boil it as it gets more concentrated.
This could get really, really bad. I wonder if there is a shelf-life for the toxins? (I would say 1/2 life, but I’m not really sure what words to use), but soon the algae will be all dead, but for how long will the toxins be reactive? As long as there is water in the lake? Still deadly in the silt? Could be an entire cycle of life a dead zone in that 1/3 of the lake. The “middle basin” is supposed to be the best fishing of walleye?
