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.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
