kub6040 I have had sever damage done by weather events. In one bad winter blizzard I lost about half of my fat hogs. That was over 500 of them. I think about it every time I drive by where we buried them when the ground thawed. I got to look at that pile of dead pigs for over two months because it was so cold that there was zero way to bury them. Plus they were frozen solid anyway.
Here is what that changed for me. I have made darn sure to NEVER have animals, hogs or cattle, in unprotected lots during the winter months since that lost.
So I think people should do some things different than just live/stay in the same place after a predictable weather loss. IF your living in an area that is known to flood then your taking the gamble so it should be just that, YOUR gamble.
If you stay then change things there. Maybe this is making things to where there is less damage if it floods. an example would be some homes built along the Mississippi River north of here are on an island that floods just about annually. Just deeper some years than others. The homes are two story with the electric service and all in the second floor only. The downstairs is usually a garage or storage area. They usually just clear out the down stairs an open the doors on each end and let the water flow through. Then as the river falls they wash the mud off the walls as its is falling. They have a plan that makes where they live work without lots of damage from a semi regular weather event. So try to do some thing like that if your going to stay put.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Lead Substitutes - by Mike Schordine. Lead was oriinally added to gasoline as an upper cylinder lubricant. It lubes the valves and seats. If you rebuild the motor, you could use hardened seats and valves, and unleaded fuel. But if your old tractor runs good, a simple lead substitute added to the gas is a perfectly reasonable solution. And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water.
