Topic: talk about extreme weather, make your own sandbags

[disasterguy]

Hello,

The weather hit us pretty hard recently here in Santa Rosa, Ca.  Myself and about 500 other residents where flooded in to our part of town for a couple of days, and the water around my house was threatening to flood my office that we run our businesses out of.

So, in lieu of getting actual sandbag supplies, we made our own out of black Glad Bags and the dirt/sand from around our yard.  Worked great, was free, required no driving, and best of all... saved my office from certain doom.
