I am embarrassed to say that my panic mode kicked in and I just loaded up on vats and bottles of water at a supermarket in Vermont before I drove home to Monmouth County this afternoon. The checkout person looked puzzled by my hoarding.

May I ask why they only giving out water in middletown and not in more locations so that it be close for everyone. It will cost me more money in gas to drive to middletown from ocean twp then to buy water on my own. WTF

We have a staffer who keeps these around, as they live on the shore. Based on our water supply issues, having these on hand can't hurt.
