No water for days?
: Owensboro and Daviess County could be without water for days after water main break Owensboro had a significant water main break and boil-water order that lasted for several days last November.
Water?
I can barely tie my shoes without caffeine, much less think through a crisis.
After pouring myself a quick cup of joe, I lugged out all the bottled water I had stored in case of catastrophe and surmised we had enough drinking water for at least three days.
At the checkout, the cashier told me I was the first person in that morning buying food, and by the time I left the store, management announced they were completely out of water.
I had picked up two cases — but because I had water at home — I offered those to others who didn’t have any.
Many said other stores were out, too.
Communities come together in times of need, and Owensboro is no exception.
I think fondly of my grandparents who lined their closet shelves with canned goods and water for decades after they endured the Great Depression.
