The story says that the stores sold out of bottled water, which is hardly a surprise. I don't think that anyone in the area actually died from dehydration.

“Immediately after the announcement, the stores in the area were rushed for any bottled water products. Within an hour the stores were emptied.”
People who read your threads will spend that hour loading some surprises up as they are already prepared

If you read the story that accompanied the picture and headline, there was NO looting. What we did see was bottled water selling out rapidly from stores 100 miles from the problem area. Coca Cola was making emergency deliveries of water to Walmart.

Aww come on! I was there when it happened it was not as bad as that pictures shows!
Plus to the credit of all the emergency personal/volunteers who helped distribute water all over the county I say "two thumbs up". Yes a lot of us had to go without showers but we at least had drinking water.

Plus with 24 hours our local Wal Mart had tons of water in stock!
Not only that Wal Mart actually rolled back the prices! Instead of .88 cents for a gallon it was only .55 cents. So no one can accuse Wal Mart of price gouging.
Seriously I was happy to see how this was handled.
Now lets find the idiot who put the hole in the pipes, or at least that is what the rumor going around is.
