The majority of people desire a life of ease. No matter how large or small our residence is, the comfort and coziness it provides are what make it a home, and as such, we must defend it and keep it secure at all costs.
Randy Wagner from Texas was aware that hurricane season was approaching, so he decided to take action and defend his property from flooding.
The plan he had in mind was labor-intensive and costly, but he believed it was essential for the safety of his property.
He built a fence out of plastic around his house that was 400 feet long. For it, he spent $8300.
The majority of Randy’s family and neighbors thought it was a waste of time and money and didn’t like his investment, but they were wrong. There was a barrier in place that kept the water from getting to his house when the hurricane hit. If the water had gotten into Randy’s house, it would have cost him up to $150,000 to fix the damage.
Here are some tips to help you get ready for an emergency:\s\s1. Make a kit bag with all the basic things you might need, like a flashlight, batteries, cash, basic first aid supplies, and medicine. Do not stay in your home if there is a safer place to go. Make sure you have enough food and water for several days without electricity.
When hurricane season begins, you might want to trim any nearby tree branches that could potentially fall when a windstorm hits and harm nearby properties. It’s also essential to clear up any gutter clogs, as leaving the debris there will prevent any water from entering your home.
