Guys. Bad news here. I am not sure if many people, if any, have heard about this yet. But I live in Toledo Ohio. Right now things are getting pretty bad. 24 hours ago, the water department declared that all of the water in Toledo and our surrounding areas is contaminated with toxins. It happened pretty much over night.
At least that's what it seems like. You can read the story on 13 Abc news. A harmful algae bloom has happened in lake Erie. This could spread farther. They are still testing and have no clear idea on what is going to happen and when/if they can fix the problem. We are not allowed to drink the water, our brush our teeth. Some chance showering. Some come out of the shower fine. And others are in the emergency room with blisters and rashes. Ingesting the water will give liver problems, and nausea along with a whole plethora of other disturbing symptoms.
The news online makes it seem not so bad.. but I live here in Toledo. This is a calm before a storm. People in this city have a lot of passion when it comes to protecting their families. But stores are trying to restock all over. But bottled water is being bought up every where. There was a point during the day when every where from Bowling Green OH to Dundee MI was out of bottled water. That also included toledo to the Indiana state line. They have started to pull produce from the shelves at stores because it's been sprayed with the water.
All restaurants closed today. All governmental official buildings closed today. The zoo where my wife works closed today. Everywhere is shutting down, and people are either staying inside to horde their water, or migrating elsewhere with empty containers to fill up at fresh water wells, and places with different sources of water. A lot of people are being hospitalized. Tons of pets are dying. And what is worse is you CANNOT boil the water to clean it. This actually increases the amount of toxins in the water!
They aren't sure how to fix it. People will be stuck here with no water, food, or jobs to go to. There was already one riot and three large fights. Not too mention people in Detroit who have been without water for about three weeks are now getting the idea from us Toledoans and traveling to other places like Ypsilanti MI to get water too. This is a serious humanitarian crisis happening. The national guard is already involved. How long until martial law, and the UN come in to play? People are already going crazy and it's only been one day so far.
Been staying calm as best I can. I've been preparing to bug out for a while now just in case a zombie apocalypse or something of the like happens in this country.. so we are not doing to terribly on water. But still will need more in order to handle this for several days if it keeps up. I have a wife, a beautiful two year old daughter named Snow, and my trusted canine comrade Emiko. ( she's a dingo ) They all mean the world to me. So I will do everything I can in my power to keep them safe. But, I just felt like reporting this on the base. You guys are one of my favorite hobbies, and my life is changing at a drastic pace. If I can't post much in the next few weeks I apologize. But I will find my way back.. We Inuzuka have fairly good noses you know...
Keep me updated if you hear anything new.
