Why do so many people in the south not have basements? You'd think with all the storms, that would be a top priority. So glad we have ours. It's nasty and stored full of old junk, but at least there's somewhere to go if needed.

He walked up on a couple of guys out there, they were stealing radiators. The guy jerked his hand up and he saw a flash of something shiny and thought it was a gun. He shot him in the head with his .45, and it turned out what the guy was holding was a ratchet with an extension and socket on it. He hasn't been right ever since killing the boy.



Good luck tomorrow Scothew. I'll be praying for you guys and the rest of the south.

Well where I live, you'd have to dig/blast into solid veins of rock that make up the mountains, where Gary lives I'd suspect you'd get down close enough to the water table that it would be flooded all the time in the wet season. That's just a guess though. Or it could be that we are just poor rednecks that can't afford to live like you high rolling yankees.

You havent ever dug through red clay mud have you. Ive seen backhoes break hydraulic arms while digging in this stuff we have here.

I would have a basement, but it honestly cost a ton to do. Most people get a storm shelter put in place.. in the side of a hill or something of that nature.

I appreciate the thoughts on tomorrow man

No basements in Louisiana. Dig about 5 ft down and hit water. Under sea level here.

I know the little boy that died here three years ago didn't have basement because the house was built too close to a pond.

Even our cabin built on bedrock has a basement. Really not much of a basement, but at least it's below ground.

Ya, its not the same. The ground down here is hard as a *****'s heart. If you've never worked with Ga. red clay, you don't know what your dealing with. Especially in the mountain regions. I had a septic system dug one time, and they had to run a ditch about 200ft. from the house for the pipe to it. They dug the hole for the tank and put it in, but when they started to dig the ditches to lay the field lines in a location where it would perc they hit a vein of rock about 50 feet out that was so deep and wide they had to scratch the whole project and start in another location. Cost many thousands of dollars for that little dig that ended up going nowhere.

You'd love the South and you know it Slim. You need to come down and spend some time with us.

So I can get sucked up by a tornado or throw out a ton of money on a septic system? I'll stay where I am.

You should just move to the Carolinas. Of course NC did have 62 twisters touch done with the last storm but thats beside the point.

I thought you loved that ****? You always want us to go out in it and take pics, so put your money where your mouth is and come show us how it's done.

And if anyone need to be "sucked up" its you.
