Thinking of Texas

[TexasT]

I just read an article that says only 15% of the people have it. It's so expensive in a flood plain most can't afford it. The coverage seems to be so limited too. Anything under 1st floor level isn't covered except necessary appliance, like a furnace. So i f you have a fixed up basement, not covered. During Katrina it stated that all federal assisstance maxed out at $30,000 per household.

No basements in this part of the country .
Sadly, many if not most have lost a lot.

It costs more to dig a basement than it does to build a house over it.  Not very many storm cellars in this area but I wish I had one!

Storm shelters are good. I need to build one. Old school style, just a box in the ground, so I can live, live to see another day. Nowadays people think they gotta build a home away from home.

If you're watching the news, I grew up on Cedar Bayou there in Mont Belvieu/Baytown area. Lots of friends under water. My brother lives in Dayton but he's on the high side and hasn't been in trouble yet. Keep them in your prayers and please shoot looters on site

I hope everyone is doing well.  Lots of loss there for sure.  I hope everyone pulls through!  I never had to deal with floods just forest fires.

Not necessarily. I'm not up to date on buying powder anymore.  I used to be able to pick up the phone and order all I wanted before I retired. 

Problem with powder is making a nice square cut  instead of just blowing a pit and then having to haul all the debris out...

I've got about 25lbs of FF and FFF.  When do you wanna do this?

If you need fire arms or other things like that, Texas is your place. We have a git er done type mentality 'round here.
