well according to this website   s-it-illegal-to-collect-rainwater-i n-the-us it's only 2 states where they restrict your water collection. in 48 states it's encouraged. so this is some kind of disinfo psyop, maybe to make people stop collecting water? so they die of dehydration when the power gets knocked out. that's probably it. this is likely a hostile foreign agent who wants you and your family to die of dehydration by convincing you that you don't have a right to water from the sky.
