[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 452817, member: 3162"] We have the same things happen here every so often. 35 MPH wind across the dry prairie is a 35 MPH fire. If it is dry, you cannot brush hog because it will start a fire. You have to plow a fire break. Such fires are the exact reason I no longer use wooden posts. The real problem in California right now is 100 MPH winds. You are helpless with 20 MPH winds and dry conditions. There is no stopping embers from spreading it. On the floods - Hundreds of acres of concrete and asphalt are added to cities each year. It causes run-off and flooding for places that never flooded before. We have also seen that in Texas this year. The concrete, additional roofs, and parking lots, over hundreds of acres collectively, creates flood zones that did not exist previously. Some of the folks used good judgement but "progress" put them in harm's way. [/QUOTE]
