...this is pretty bad
<b>Edit: A little update, the tree fell. We were inside and we could hear it coming down, scraping the side of the house all the way down. Breaking gutters and chipping deck railings, taking out fence, and breaking walkways, but it missed everything it possibly could and landed in the best possible place. It could have came through our house and it could have totaly messed up our deck, but all was minimal damage. Pics below</b>
Fairfax County residents are being urged to conserve and boil their water.
Power has been lost at all three water supply plants in the county, leaving water supply levels critically low and possibly unsafe.
As a precaution, Fairfax County Water Authority spokesman Don Schmidt says residents are being urged to conserve and boil water before using it for drinking, cooking, washing dishes and brushing teeth.
Water should be brought to a boil for one minute and allowed to cool, or bottled water should be used.
Meanwhile, in Vienna, residents are being asked to ration water limiting water use to drinking water only.
Our water is brown and there is very little pressure!
AND a 5 foot diameter tree maybe 125 ft high almost hit our house, now it is leaning at 45 degrees. Pics later, will cost about 4 billion to take out
