(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Well, today in Biology my teacher made a comment about the recent chemical spill that happened a few counties above mine. A tanker leaked out a chemical that smells like licorice or cough syrup, that eventually spread to the Elk River (which is a major water source for that part of West Virginia). Anyways, an estimated over 300,000 people are without water unless they either have bottled water or a well. The chemical is 4-Methylcyclohexane Methanol, which isn't deadly at it's most potent state.
This reached national news.
Here's a a video and more information: You must login or register to view this content.

We used to have a well at out old campsite on the Greenbrier river.
I'm not affected by this spill, but if I would have been, I'm prepared. I've got probably 500 gallons of water in my "storage" house.
