    We didn't get a call either, only way I knew is that my wife is a nurse at the hospital. They started making preparations right away. Although 9news stated that they would be giving water to everyone, instead of just patients and their guests So I spent the night drinking beers to cleanse my gut :-)

    Could be worse. Could be a meat recall on ground beef. You hear and read about processor X recalling 25K lbs of ground beef that was sold Feb 2013. HOWEVER they don't announce anything till April, 2 months later. Don't know about you , when we buy meat, it's usually gone within the week.

    I had no idea that this was as common as some of you are saying. What I find most alarming is the lack of notification in a timely manner. Food recalls are bad enough, but I'm one of those that tends to buy in bulk, cook some and store the rest for later. I've got some water set by, but you can bet I'll be setting more aside.

    As someone else said on here (Irving, I think) this is a prime time to start people to the prepping mindset.
