Re: Yet another hurricane story

Speaking of water, we just got 6+ inches in 8 hours. Have some major repair jobs in the garden when I get back from Wyalusing, WI on Sunday! Have to remember, in the future, the adage "be careful what you wish for...you may get it"!

After the Agnes flood in '72, I've got a very healthy respect for the power of water. It's amazing what it can do.

No doubt your exactly right, Pam. We've had high water in different places
where we've lived, but it seems that nearly every house has been on or very
near a hill top, so we hadn't seen that sort of occurrence from our own
experience in Indy or Ohio.

Still, that's a LOT of POWER! Whether wind-borne or water-borne to blow or
float enough debris into all those little opening with sufficient force to
topple it is pretty amazing!

With the flooding from the storm, it could have picked up enough leaves,
branches and assorted trash to fill in most of those spaces to cause it
to topple over. Once down, the flotsam & jetsam would wash away and
you'd never know. I've seen how the leaves and such pile up at my chain
link gate during a deluge.

Wondered if they had those .... yipes what do you call them-- strips to
make them more private laced between the chain links.

That is something to ponder. Beyond the posts and rails, it's mostly
airspace between wire. WOW! Now that's powerful, Jim!

One of our crew chiefs told me today that he saw where a 4-foot chain
link fence, not near any trees or large bushes, had been blown over by
Charley. He said: "How much resistance can a chain link fence
provide?"
