In North Carolina, we are subjected to everything that Mother Nature can throw at us other than volcanoes.  😉  We are often warned to prepare for some impending bad weather by gathering up supplies and by filling up the bathtub with water.  Normally I wouldn’t consider using bathtub water for anything other than flushing the
