Regarding your funny story, it is still possible to lose your water in a bad storm. In my case, we lost water during hurricane Isabel because we get our water from a nearby city. When the storm hit, the water flooded the city's generator at the water treatment plant and there went the water!
When I realized that we wouldn't be able to flush, I ran around like a maniac filling everything I could with water before our water "petered" out!
I really feel for everyone in Florida and I'm glad your sister is ok!

We grew up in a small town that had no municipal water, so we had a well. The pump for the well ran on electricity so in this house, Mom's right, we coulnd't flush the toilets. Now my hubby just broke me of that belief in the last few years because it's so ingrained in since we were kids. I called her and told her she could flush and we laughed and laughed! She didn't really know how it worked either. I wonder if my brother still does that?
