No one is suggesting that people can take pots and tubs of water in an evacuation, for doG’s sake. That’s ridiculous. They are suggesting that it would make sense to fill up home receptacles before the storm AS WELL as getting bottled water. In case you end up staying in your house w/o running water, or w/o potable water. It’s free. It’s easy.
I said something about that to a friend who lives in FL and is planning to stay at home, and she said thanks, she hadn’t really thought about it, and she would add it to her to-do prep list!
BTW, the idea that snow is a natural disaster, much less one on the order of a hurricane or tornado, or wildfire, is kind of ridiculous also.
