Imagine this scenario. You
are cuddling your three year old on a night when the rains are at their
highest. The thunderstorms and lightning just make you want to get deeper into
your blankets and cuddle your obviously scared child. You sleep through the night
and first thing that greets you in the morning, floods! Your house is flooded.
In this scenario the first
thing you do is desperately look at your damaged property and cry. How long can
you cry? Definitely not forever. As traumatizing as it is, help would be all
you need at that particular time. Buckets will only help you remove the water
but what of the damage caused to your property?
In the USA floods do not
occur only during the rainy seasons but it is said to be high during the warmer
periods. Indeed cities in the Middle West are ranked among cities with the
highest likelihood of such occurrences.
