Our local grocery store put a limit of 4 cases of bottled water per person as they were having the bottled water run out too fast. 4 cases of bottled water should be plenty for most families to last a while.
Yeah i never figured out the bottled water thing. Safer to get it out of a faucet if we aren't in hurricane mode. I was a pipe fitter back in the day. We did a job by one of the major water bottling companies. They stored the packaged bottles of water outside in a huge parking lot for weeks in the sun
