Bleh, that sucks that it moved back over. Best of luck with this thing...

He really didn't think that through nearly enough. Sure, if you already have old clean milk jugs or other containers you can fill up, do it. (And some news sources have been suggesting people do.) But as you said, post storm... then what? A little listeria (or whatever is more likely) goes a long way.

Those unsealed containers will also only keep for so long, of course. Better to use those first and still have some sealed ones for backup later.
