Yesterday my neighbor and I went to WalMart and bought 20 cases of water. When the Salvation Army here in town gets organized, we'll take the water there to be shipped to the gulf.

I'm also going through my old clothes today, and my husband's, and donate those. Anyone with old blankets, sheets, etc., donations will be needed.

Yeah, they're going to need water, for sure.

Last year when Charley hit down in Charlotte County, friends of ours would load up their pick up with cases of water and drive them down (we're in south St. Pete, so it's only a couple hours drive.)

Water always seems to be the thing that can't keep enough of.

Just thinking about all those people in the city now, with no tap water, makes you wonder how they're going to keep from getting diseases like typhoid, etc. There's no way to get water to them, and you have to have water, so they'll resort to drinking unclean water.

Clorox would work to clean up their water, but who managed to carry out a bottle of clorox.
