No water

No drinking water until Monday at the earliest and we have to conserve the rest for essentials, so no showers or laundry. Kids home from school until then too. Stress of further weather warning for today and the weekend.

Still in Emergency

No drinking water but at least we have electricity. The roads are clear so I can work my night shifts, but the kids are home from school until the water supply is back. Weather warning for the next few days and weekend is for more rain and gusty winds.
