Well, this could have put us in a pickle. Re: Water delivery.

We subscribe to a delivery service for water, Zephryhills. It was due to arrive Thursday, which would have provided all of our water needs in case the hurricane hits. Then, without telling us they changed the delivery date to Tuesday, well past the date the hurricane was supposedly going to hit.

My thought: IF by Thursday they were clear in their heads that our area was going to be spared and other parts of the US was going to take a hit, then kudos. to them for triaging to get the water where it needed to go.

But IF they used it to make money by sending it to customers who were willing to pay more, then, damn. Just passing this on to let others know there's a glitch in the system and be ready for Plan B with your emergency supplies.
