About two-hours ago a major water main broke in Hanahan, SC, which really blows because that water-main is the proverbial tit which we all suck water from in the 50-mile radius of the Charleston area. Areas without water are Charleston, North Charleston, West Ashley, Goose Creek, Hanahan and Hollywood. A boiled water advisory is in effect until further notice and Wal-Mart announced their Super-Wal-Mart locations in North Charleston and West Ashley have sold out of bottled water. However, there is good news, the Cooper River Bridge Run will go on as scheduled because a major sponsor of the CRBR is Aquafina Bottled Water. Yes, folks Capitalism's irony at its' finest-we can't drink Charleston (CPW) municipal water, but we do have Atlanta's municipal water of largesse to quinch our thrist.I'd like to tell everyone not to panic, at least wait a good 10-minutes so Mellen can run out in his new Silver Bullet to buy the house some bottled water.
CPW will have a live news conference at 11 pm tonight to update everyone on the water situation. Yes, I do live on an island, but not a deserted island, unlike Tom Hanks, I don't have to drink rain-water from a leaf, because Mellen just returned with big bottles of water for everyone! Boo-yah.
