A Flood Can Take You With It If You Do Not Get Out Of The Way
Have you been in an area that had a lot of flooding at one time and have seen the damage left behind? Some of you probably have never seen what a great moving mass of water is capable of doing to something in its path. This running mass of water will move or destroy anything standing in its way. It has no thought as to where it is going or what it might destroy. The faster the water is moving, the more it will damage. It has been known to completely wipe out entire towns and many of the people living there as well.
This flood damage might be visible for years to come as it will stay on the buildings that were able to still be standing. In most cases of high flood water, if you do not have some warning, you might not be able to get out of its way. Not only will this water damage all you have, but it can also destroy or damage the land and every living thing there. It will tear up the trees and knock out bridges like sticks. It can take out electric poles like tooth picks sending you into darkness. When it is over you will be stuck with the damage.
This damage will have to be dealt with as soon as possible. If you made it out of the area, you will be allowed back in as soon as the water is gone and the storm that brought it in is gone also. You might not be ready to face the damage that is left. Your house might be gone along with everything else. You will have to find the number to your insurance companies main office because your local office might not be there either. What would you do if your local bank was gone also and this was a locally owned bank? Most of the banks anymore have several in the neighboring cities, but you still have some of these locally owned ones. What would you do without any money or anyway to find any for the time being?
This is the best reason to have an emergency bag packed for just this reason. Put this bag with whatever you think you might need to cover you and each member of your family for a few days. Make sure that you put some extra money in it as well. Make a list of all the numbers that you will need so that you will be able to get what you need and the people that are important. Even some that just people you know or the companies that you will need to call. These might be the professionals that you will need to help repair whatever is left.
