Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Local SHTF here in Hopewell, VA (Fuel Spill in River)
Posted: 3/3/2015 5:57:05 PM EDT
Fuel spill in the river.  We have about 70 gallons of water here.  We also have a Sawyer filter.

We should be OK, well except for not being able to take a shower.

Dibs on cat.

Hope for rain OP.

I used to fish for bluecats amongst the barges right above the bridge there.
I wouldn't eat the fish much less drink the water!

Hopefully the rain forecast for the next couple days will flush it out

Kepone wasn't enough for you?

Research that last chemical spill that had people on water restriction for a long while.



Hope things go well for you, but I sure would expect more problems than they mention in the news just because things don't always go as planned.
