This says boiling wont help so its bottled or nothing.
It does seem though that its mostly old, sick and the kids that are a concern. seems that healthy adults would be oke but i am not going to risk it

Boiling makes the algae more toxic, there goes the coffee

ummm i got an alert on my phone and it said "EMERGENCY ALERT Salem, OR: Prepare for action"

and nothing else


literally about 10 sec later i had my plates on and my ar10, ar15 and a couple hand guns, about 5000 rounds of ammo and the kids loaded in the truck...

i then got about 40 text messages from my group of friends who i talk preparedness with and we thought our plan was about to be put into action. also, my cousin in burns called and asked if hed be seeing us soon because of this...i told him to stand by


then came the rest of the alert.


"dont drink the water"

the one thing i wish i would have done differently is keeping a full tank of fuel in the truck... i hardly drive it so its usually at 1/4tank

I fill up at 1/2 tank, and keep a couple Jerry cans with stabilized fuel in them.

NO. Do not drink the water, boiled or not. The poison is a toxin released by dying blue-green algae. So killing any remaining algae doesn't eliminate the problem.

 

[LuckySG]

No kidding

I believe this is our biggest problem. My neighbors think I am going to take care of them when something bad happens, and I remind them I will be packed and gone first.

I was wondering if anyone else would have a similar reaction to the alert as my husband and I. Ours said Civil Emergency prepare for action. What a drill. My 3 year old got his water blaster filled up all by himself lol.

They are really training us well to ignore those alerts. I'm expecting an Alien attack alert any time now. Oops, false alarm
