In light of recent events down in South Carolina it has been brought to my attention that we have a serious problem and that problem is, flooding. Now there is absolutely no excuse for flooding, it can and should be prevented. It’s not like an earthquake, where you have no notice and it’s not like a tornado where it swoops down and suddenly destroys everything. Warning can be given for a flood, sometimes weeks in advance. It starts out slow and accumulates, but don’t let that fool you. Water is persistent, and it does not stop, so it ends up destroying everything, from roads to houses to even whole towns. I have witnessed firsthand what flooding can do a family or a community. I know families who have lost everything they own to these floods.
