Good point Frisket!

I thought I'd get a couple of blow-up kiddie pools for water collection in an emergency. Keeping birds and rodents out could be a problem. We're not allowed rain barrels where I live but I could keep one in the garage (with a rigged siphon hose) and keep that covered. Think I'm going to get one anyway and use something less conspicuous to collect rainwater to transfer in. (5 gallon buckets maybe?)
