When Richmond's running waterran out last week, people resorted to pooping in bags, throwing snow in toilet tanks and brushing their teeth with La Croix.
They questioned whether their bong water had to be boiled, too (A health department spokesperson indirectly told Axios the answer is "Yes.") and were blasting Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing."
A Carytown Publix employee told Axios that when the store ran out of bottled water, a customer asked if coconut water would be safe for her dog (apparently yes, in small amounts).
One person said in a MapRVA survey, "I can't believe I shat outside."
The bottom line: Richmonders were not alright. But we were hilarious.
