West Virginia chemical spill cuts water to up to 300,000, state of emergency declared…

http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2014/01/09/22245996-west-virginia-chemical-spill-cuts-water-to-up-to-300000-state-of-emergency-declared?lite>=43001

This is a very frightening situation.  My nephew is an attorney at the state capitol building in Charleston which is one of the areas affected by the chemical spill.  My prayers are with them all.  The county that my sister lives in is not affected so far.

And this is it on the Spring countdown.  We leave the 70s and go to 69 days till spring.

This is a very short post.  I will add more later when I get back from my doctor appointments.

Stay safe and be happy!!

  4. Whoa - chemical spill is no laughing matter. Just think about all the things we use water for in a day's time, besides the toilet, shower, and sink. Sadly, it could take years to fully clean it up - if even then. What a sad situation for everyone living there.

  10. Oh! I thought of your family when I heard this on the news this morning.

    That's right! Today is the day for the doctors! You had to brave the rain and other weather related "messes" for appointments! Hope all has gone well!

  18. Well that does sound like bad news, I suppose there will be a long process going on now to clear it as much as they can. Dreadful.
