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.

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.
