YES, GOOD TIMING GOT TO WATCH THEM BOTH.. AFTER LOSING POWER, NET AND PHONE SOON
AS I FINISHED DOWNLOADING!
NOW OVERWHELMED BY BEING OUT OF NEWS LOOP!
WHERE I LIVE, EVERYTHING WAS PRETTY MUCH SHUT DOWN LIKE IT WAS A PLAN!
*THE TREES!
I HAVE FIGURED IT OUT AFTER SEEING A SMALL BERM OF MY OWN PLOWING OF THE DRIVEWAY.
IN IT YOU COULD SEE THE COLD BLUE GREEN COLOR .. IN JUST 8"!
1ST THEY SPRAY TO GET THE MOISTURE AND DIRECT TO THE AREA
2ND THEN THEY RAIN THEIR MIX DOWN AND SATURATE EVERYTHING AND IN THIS THE TREE BARK ABSORBS IT!
3RD THEN COMES THE SNOW WITH THE BARIUM AND CALCIUM CHLORIDE, SNOW BUILDS TO A CERTAIN DEPTH AND THEN ..
4TH NIGHT FALL AND TEMP DROPS VERY QUICKLY AND THE MIX FREEZES ALL THE WATER MIX IN THE BARK AND CAUSES IT TO EXPAND AND BREAK LARGE LIMBS INCLUDING TREES.
PG&E GOT TRAPPED ON MY STREET @ 2AM TO 7 BECAUSE OF ALL THE FALLING TREES!
ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT IN THE MORNING THIS PLACE LOOKED LIKE A WAR ZONE!
ONLY THREE OF US RESIDENCES HAD LIGHTS, 2 ON GENERATORS AND ME WITH SOLAR AND BATTERIES/L.E.D. LIGHTS.
SO BLACK YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE
BACK TO THE TREES ... THIS HAPPENED BEFORE.. THE COLOR IN THE SMALL SNOW POCKETS SO.. THEY ARE MAKING A COCKTAIL MIX TO ACCOMPLISH THIS "BLOCKADE OF ROADS"
THE NEW ARGO CAN GO OVER BRUSH AND TREE TRUNKS AS LONG AS THEY R NOT REAL LARGE...BUT I HAVE RAMPS TO GO OVER 24" AND EVEN THE QUAD WITH TRAILERS WILL DO IT!
THE ONLY DIFFICULTY IN THE EXTREME ENVIRONMENT IS NOT HAVING A REFRIGERATOR RUNNING.. NEED TWO STORAGE BATTERIES.. I ONLY HAVE ONE (COST 269.00)
SO WHAT TO DO WITH MEAT AND IMPORTANT STUFF?? = TAKE TWO COLEMAN 54-60QT COOLERS ANT PUT 6" OR SO OF SNOW IN BOTTOM AND FILL WITH FOOD PUT MORE SNOW ON TOP AND LEAVE OUTSIDE!
DO WASH HANDS BECAUSE OF THE MIX IN THE SNOW!!
THAT IS THE ONLY PROBLEM EXPERIENCED.
I PLANNED MOST OF THE PRODUCTS PURCHASED OVER TIME TO DOUBLE AS CAMPING / HOME EMERGENCY USE! ( I try them out camping in more harsh environment )
*I HAVE RECHARGEABLE SHOWER PUMP BATTERIES .. BLACK 5GAL BUCKET TO USE SUN TO HEAT OR BOIL WATER AND ADD TO COMFORTABLE TEMP, BECAUSE WE HAVE AT HOME AN ELECTRIC WATER HEATER.
IN SHORT EVERY THING IS COVERED
I DON'T REALLY NEED VERY MUCH OF ANYTHING.. YES THE LADIES WERE THOUGHT OF TOO!
TOILET PAPER DOES NOT LAST FOREVER AND YOU WILL HAVE TO ADAPT TO GRASS OR LEAVES!
FEMA WILL NOT BE BETTER!
SO WHY GO TO THEM!
