I have stored some water (distilled water lasts longer than the usual spring water, and is just as safe to drink). I have lived through a weekend without water, and I can tell you, it is not fun indeed. Losing power is far easier than losing water. Basic sanitation is hampered with the loss of water (try flushing a toilet, and we all have to do our business each and every day, usually multiple times a day). Try washing your hair, only with bottled water. It ain't easy! (Smile.)
Obviously, with the loss of water, some of those things have to go, and/or be mitigated. Keeping oneself hydrated is most important. The body's organs will start the dying process, three days without water. Any fast excluding water beyond three days is only by supernatural intervention.
I LIVE IN MARYLAND. I KEEP A BATHTUB OF BLEACH WATER IN MY APARTMENT AT ALL TIMES. I ALSO HAVE CAT LITTER JUGS WITH HANDLES WHERE I STORE WATER FOR BOTH DRINKING AND FLUSHING. WE HAVE BEEN WITHOUT POWER AND IT IS NOT PRETTY. WE DID HAVE WATER TO FLUSH, THOUGH; A VERY IMPORTANT FUNCTION. I EMPTY AND ROTATE THE WATER IN THESE CONTAINERS PERIODICALLY. RIGHT NOW THEY ARE FOR THE MOST PART EMPTY. WE HAVE BUG OUT BAGS, LIFE STRAWS AND STORED FOOD.
BEING POLITICALLY ACTIVE AND AWARE I AM ABOUT AS PREPARED AS ONE CAN BE.

I bought this thing too called a Water Bob (don't ask why, cuz I sure don't know!), but it's a membrane that allows you to fill it up in the tub and keep it clean. Handy for when you think a Hurricane might be coming, but you don't have to bug out.
YOU KNOW, WE CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH, THE REST IS IN GOD'S HANDS. WHAT A GOOD PLACE TO BE.
HE DID NOT TELL NOAH DON'T WORRY I'M GONNA TAKE CARE OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WHEN I FLOOD THE LAND. HE SAID BUILD AN ARK. HE EXPECTS US TO BE READY SPIRITUALLY AND PREPARE AS MUCH AS WE CAN OTHERWISE. HE GIVES US THE SIGNS AND WE FOLLOW THROUGH.
