First, we lost water and then we lost our power. I learned two things, 20gals of water storage lasted us 3 days and my generator worked fine but is a little loud at night, so we went to bed earlier than normal.

Take away; was my wife was pleased I had the generator and water on hand and she doesn't mind if I store water in more locations now but she was a little pissed about me turning the utilities off early. I would like to store around 100gals with 10gals being bottle water.
Oops! Glad it worked out alright for you! hahaha

I am currently using mostly 1gal jugs from Costco, They are pretty space-efficient, are less than $1/ea and they are stackable (as long as you keep them in the plastic wrap).
