Oops: Don't Drink the (Rain)Water

After trace amounts of radiation from the Japanese nuclear disaster were found in the air above Virginia, the state health department is warning people not to drink rainwater.

VDH is advising residents that the state’s drinking water supplies remain safe, but reminds Virginians out of an abundance of caution they should avoid using rainwater collected in cisterns as drinking water.

Looks like that decision by the DRB to allow bigger rain barrels may have been a bit premature.
