Our water has a yellow cast to it. They assure us it is safe to drink. No thank you. We have lost our lawn, trees and shrubs are fading fast. I will get of my soap box. It is just such a serious problem for us here.

I know. I am SO sorry about this. The other day when we FINALLY got rain here (Okefenokee Swamp has been burning ALL summer since March off and on) I said to my husband, I sure wish those folks in TX would get this... We've had it very bad here, even the last two hurricanes did not give us much. HOwever, NOTHING like ya'll have. Pray you get some soon.
