These are some photos I took today after finally being able to get up to my property and see if there was any damage from the 2nd fire up there in a week. The second fire was a flare up of the first. I Even got a shot of my BOD (Bug Out Dog):D: The first couple of shots are where they came...

With all the extreme drought and now all the fires, is it possible that Texas will become the next dust bowl state?

On the way to work this morning the guy on the radio was talking about how Texas set new records for the hottest summer - ever. I do not know how true it is, but the guy was talking about Texas might have been the hottest average temperature of any state recorded in 2011. In the desert states...

This was posted this as a reply to a thread, but I wanted to post it here as a topic of discussion. Its normal for tensions to run high after a storm, and its normal for emotions to run high after a storm. After hurricane Ike pushed through, the Orange County Texas sheriffs department started...

Now I have read some Irene responses over the last few days and it got me thinking of a REAL SHTF scenario. Comments like this is a survival site and we need to stick together and help one another, etc... Well first off I like to define situations into categories. I have 3 of them, civilian...

The Army used the rescue efforts from Irene to unviel their newest sub. It almost worked. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6b54bZepoA&feature=player_embedded#!

I just wanted to share some observations from my experience. I hope everyone can walk away with a little more knowledge. I live in CT about 20 miles from Hartford. Very much inland. We are very fortunate overall as a state. We did lose a few lives. My prayers go out to the families. Our...

Not really a big flood compared to most down south but still rather destructive for the Mohawk River valley and the Hudson River valley. Many of the small town back roads were backed up for miles all day due to the NYS thruway being closed from Amsterdam to Syracuse. We personally had no power...

I live in upstate NY, near the capital of Albany (You may have heard ''Troy'' on national news yesterday...), and we got hit pretty well with Irene. Fortunately I'm one of the lucky ones whose home isn't under water, but that's only one of the ''new'' worries I got out of this experience. I had...

Looks like Irene did not wash New York city out to sea.

We are planning on leaving tonight (Friday) to avoid more crowds leaving this weekend. Mayor has just issued a mandatory evac if I picked up the news right. Subways will not be working Sat (and my idiot boss was asking us to come work on the weekend). We are on high ground in an upper floor of a...

Having been through hurricanes Ike and Rita, evacuated for hurricane Andrew, and having worked an evacuee shelter for hurricane Katrina, I am here to answer your questions. People that have been through a hurricane are welcome to help answer questions. Have at least 1 week of food and water...
