[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 452878, member: 3162"] Call me an idiot. I can plow up the entire yard and soak it with 4 inches of water. With single digit humidity and hudred mile an hour winds, it'll be dry within a few hours. Nothing can be done in the way of prevention short of living in a cave. You lose electricity which shuts off your well. Burning embers will blow right into your house even with everything plowed up for a mile around. Even if you save your house you still lose all your sheds, barns and contents. The insurance company will give you 10% of your house insurance value and that's it. I wouldn't choose to live there in the first place, but I have fought many a brush fire. Better to fight it on a neighbor's property before it gets to yours. [/QUOTE]
