Yeah my son has already tried to talk me into letting him kill the bobcat and the fox with his crossbow. Bolts and broad heads cost slot more than rifle ammo so that's a negative........that and if he misses and they come in the blind with us we are screwed. I’ll end up taking them with my 243 if I see them again.

If it was just a regular water main break not during a major natural disaster, yes.

But you have to figure the first week every person, including all the individual workers, engineers, planners, etc. were just trying to survive in their own lives...their own family and friends. And the area was cut off in every direction.

Then you had search and rescue efforts that were first and foremost. Priorities and all. We had water distribution centers within 3 days, that was the critical lifeline.

The entire set of resevoirs we are reliant on were wrecked and demolished. This was the worst natural disaster in the entire history of the area, as known to modern man. Entire substations and lines were completely washed away. It's really quite amazing what they've done in short order. Some engineers were saying November-January originally. They took a gamble and went for repairing a shortcut line and are now looking to treat directly from the resevoir to get to potable water quicker.

Far smarter people than myself have figured out things on the fly and with real-life complications. Not just a "war games" simulation. Everyone is very grateful for sure. 1-4 months without water sounded absolutely awful.

This entire region, from the surrounding nonprofits, communities, officials, businesses, and leaders have responded amazingly well for what it was. Could have been so much worse.

I’m sorry, what I should have started with, I DONT KNOW, and I don’t. I hope I didn’t come off condescending. I can only post words on a message board, but that doesn’t cut it. I am glad that boots on the ground like yourself can tell us. And please tell us.

*yes, I know I'm being a jerk right now but I've been getting @ed on here for blasting these corrupt SEC refs and their bias against the VOLS. It's been going on the past few years and me and some others have been beating the drum about it. I'm going to vent just a little bit.
