"One result of this is that we can't use the washing machines at the house we are renting," said Sunny-in-Salem. "They directed us to the laundromat, which is very nice and accommodating."

"Lots of people are getting water delivered right now," said another local, StJohnJulie. "I've seen a bunch of water delivery trucks that I've never seen before, not sure where they are coming from."
