Yeah, fire is a bad thing also. Have been fortunate to never gone through a large-scale wild fire.
Kinda brings home the old saying, "come hell or high water". Interesting difference between the two, however, is that the fire pretty much destroys things, but also sterilizes from the heat. The ash makes new vegetation want to grow. In fact, some seeds cannot grow unless they get hot enough, as from fire.
On the other hand, water, water, water....and all that sewage, silt, dead animals, etc, etc... So no telling what's in the water. Yet at the same time, that filthy water is also the lifesaving grace for vegetation to grow after long dry spells. Have always been fascinated with how nature works.
Was watching some live coverage (when the internet was working for us) yesterday from Fox in Houston. The said how some areas would likely hit 50" in "rain alone"!! They called this a 500-year flood. ...Funny thing is, this is the 3rd 500-year flood event I know of in my lifetime in that area. :wink: But make no mistake about it, this flood event is definitely one for the record books!!
My hometown area is part of the area expected to get the most rainfall - a little north of Houston. ....Is probably considered a suburb now. *lol* Watching the video yesterday, couldn't help but wonder how nice it would have been making the long drive to work if traffic had been that light back then.....only without the water. Still, couldn't believe how many idiots were getting out in that mess and going for a joy ride, knowing that it's not over with yet.
