Parched Georgia declares drought emergency

[tygerkittn]

Yikes! I was reading this article in the AJC telling us not to worry, and it said:
"The state already has vendors from which it would purchase bottled water. It also can access the Georgia National Guard's cache of 80 water-hauling tanker trucks that can carry more than 300,000 gallons. Most are 400-gallon "water buffalos" that carry drinking water, and a few are 6,000-gallon trailers that haul non-drinkable water."

They only have enough trucks to provide 300,000 gallons of water to ALMOST SIX MILLION PEOPLE, and we shouldn't worry about the drought?
There aren't enough trucks in the country to provide that many people with water every day. If the lake runs out we are doomed. Or at least the equity in our house is doomed.
On the plus side we'd have to move. I hate Atlanta.

we have plenty of water in middle georgia so you wont have to come that far south to get water.

I'd love to live in Columbus Ga again, or Cordele, we went there for a train ride and THAT was the South I grew up in, everybody was so nice, the people on the train gave my kids candy and gushed over how cute they are. Nobody in Atlanta talks to anybody.
But if all 5 million+ people who live here move further south at the same time, you might end up in the same boat!

I think we are already in the same boat with people not talking to each other. I have lived in my neighborhood for about two years now and i still dont know my neighbors.

I am actually starting to think the whole plan is to have all 5million people move further south at once. Every where and i mean every where you look they are building an aprtment complex or putting in new houses and doing it non stop. There is one road to close to me where they are putting in six seperate subdivisons and the road is only a mile or two at most.

I also live in warner robins so not as far as south as columbus or cordele

That's how Atlanta used up it's water, by overbuilding. Also illegal immigration, 53% of all immigrants here are illegal.
Whenever I see a cute child, I always run over and say "you look so pretty in that dress" or whatever, because back home that's how everyone acts, but here I'm the only one, and people seem surprised when I do it. Maybe I'll start a trend. Or get locked up. :heh

yea but majority of the aparments and subdivison are empty like they are expecting something where they will soon be needed.

I know one family who lives in a subdivison where it is his and another family and there the only ones living in that subdivison with more then 50empty houses and there still building in it

Wow, I bet that's why, they're just going to move people to where the water is, and when it runs out, move everyone again?
I was worrying about it last night, and I told my husband if the house loses all value we'll just let them foreclose, we'll bankrupt and start over. We've been paying extra on the payment every month and would have had a lot of equity.
The trouble is, places with nice cheap houses in friendly small towns don't have high tech jobs like my husband needs.

We are having it rough here with the drought but hopefully the Lord will send us some rain
