Tragic Wild fires out west and floods making the national news again. What do they both have in common? People seem to loose everything, Tragically some people die. News reporters show crying people that lost everything and they all say the same thing. Lost it all and we will rebuild. Why would anyone rebuild in the same place if it prone to flooding and wild fires without making changes to how they rebuild?
If I were to rebuild in a place prone to fires, I wouldn't use asphalt or wood shingles. The wild fires send hot embers miles; roofs are the first thing to catch fire. Heard on the news where a home owner saved his house by hosing down the roof.
Why do people build homes that can't stand up to fires if they live in a place prone to wild fires?
Same with floods. If you are going to live in a flood plane, at least put a levy around your place. I know a guy in TH that has a house and building with a levy so high you can't see his roofs. He may need a boat to get to his house, but he's not worried about floods living in a flood plane that floods after a good rain.
About 6 years ago, I had 90 mph straight line winds. Put trees on 5 roofs. I repaired damage and cut over 20 trees down. No way will I allow trees to damage my properties again.
Is it me that thinks it's crazy to keep the madness up and rebuild in disaster zones without taking some kind of precautions. Who wants to fall victim to mother nature time and time again? geo

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
