Good day guys![/b][/i][em]happy[/em]I'm here again with another question for you about your life experiences. lol.May I write the question again: Have you ever sat on a roof?Well, when this is in movies, it often time a romantic scene with lovers talking or maybe kissing on top of a roof. I did sat on our roof when I was a little little.. lol... but my experience is not something romantic one.. I just go there to watch the stars at night... I would say it's an incredible site... the skies is just perfect to view from there..How about you??

| | Have you ever experienced a Hurricane? | | I have and the experience had my nerves on the edge. Luckily for us we did not suffer any major damages both in Ivan and Dean. To hear that howling wind outside and hear pieces of our neighbour's roofs tearing off or to see the fruit trees in and around the yard snapping like twigs and watch pieces of zinc flying in all direction it was the most fascinating and frightening sight. It is at times like these when you realise how vulnerable you are because there is nothing you can do about a Hurricane than ride it out and hope you survive. At least we get ample time to prepare but even as we are prepared, we can never be fully ready for the unslaut of nature's fury. One of my neighbours was not so lucky. She died as a result of injuries sustained during Hurricane Ivan when roofing materials from a house next door came crashing through her living room window hitting her in the chest. She did not last a day. The question is, can we ever be ready? What was your experience like if you have experienced a Hurricane? | |
| | how to protect your home from fire | | Wildfires only happen in California, right? Well, maybe in Florida and New Mexico too, but certainly not in your neighborhood. However, in truth, nearly every state has been devastated by wildfires in the last century. Over 140,000 wildfires occurred on average each year, burning a total of almost 14.5 million acres. And since 1990, over 900 homes have been destroyed each year by wildfires.
While wildfires are more frequent in the West, recent events have demonstrated that this is clearly a nationwide problem. This is because more of us are living in rural areas closer to nature. These areas are more prone to wildfires and that means our homes are at risk. No home is fireproof, but by taking the necessary precautions, your home has a better chance of surviving such a catastrophe.
So, what can you do to protect yourself, your home and property from wildfires? This brochure presents tips for preparing your home and yard to survive a wildfire. The information and suggestions presented in this brochure range from simple weekend tasks to involved projects that may require professional assistance. Before starting on any activity, make sure you are comfortable with the required skill... | |
