Gawrsh! We musta collected 50 gallons in everything we had, for use as grey water. The water pressure did get down to nothing, but its back now.

My daughter said "Daddy, Mommy showed me a magic trick, she poured a bucket of water in the toilet and it flushed!" Apparently, that other lady would have felt it was magic also. Except, my daughter is six. I wish I coulda run into those people and sold them some special organic toilet flushing water... that I collected from their gutter downspout. I betcha they woulda bought it.

Anyway we survived, no major damage. No electricity, but those who are prepared have ways grin
