My well is flooded

I live in Minnesota, so this flooding is not from the hurricanes, and we have not had any severe rain storms. I dont know what caused this flooding. I am afraid the water is going to ruin my pump and pipes. What can I do to solve this? Should I report this to the Red Cross or FEMA, and should I call my insurance company? I shut off the water pump just to be safe. I hope someone can fix this soon because hauling bath and toilet water 14 miles from the city is alot of work. Paul You're sitting on a gold mine, kid.

I've used the stuff for years without safety equipment and have suffered no side effects - hell, a couple of times I accidentally fell into an entire *tub* of it...other than lightening my skin up a couple of shades, it didn't hurt a bit.

You're lucky! It can be (usually is) fatal even if inhaled. ...even a 5gal pail of it can be fatal. Timothy Leary stared a speech one time, many many many years ago, by placing a glass of unidentified clear liquid on the podium and then going on for several minutes explaining and giving examples of its' deadly nature, how many people it had killed or crippled, how many lives it had ruined, how many zillions of dollars damage it had caused over the years, etc etc etc. Then he took a sip of it and continued the speech. I saw a tape of it many years ago and still remember it. |

It was either hydrogen hydroxide or perhaps hydroxyl acid. Would you have meant hydric acid? I heard some time back it's #9 mineral configuration was discovered but, fortunately, it did not live up to dire predictions. AL |
