Flint Residents Flock to Water Dispensaries Following State's Announcement

Description

Aretha Bradley was eating lunch at a restaurant when she saw on Facebook that the state of Michigan would soon stop delivering bottled water to residents in Flint, Michigan. Bradley hurriedly finished her meal, got into her car and drove as fast as she could to the water distribution site on South Dort Highway near her home. Lots of other people apparently had the same idea. “It was car after car after car after car trying to pick up water,” Bradley, 53, told HuffPost.
