Would you buy a house built from alternative material and powered with solar power instead of regular housing?
Saving acres of trees and reducing pollution.Buying at the same price.

anywhere else in the us having crazy storms?
so washington has been hit really bad with wind/rain storms. power was out for over a million houses today and they dont expect to be able to get it all fixed for at least a couple days.there’s also trees fallen on houses, i believe a couple people have died. grocery stores have lost all of their perishable foods, etc. there’s a LOT of damage. is any of the rest of the west coast -or anywhere in the us for that matter- having storms like these? or is it just us up here?… just curious

I was told I should never turn my new home PC off. What say you?
I have a surge protecter, but I live in the country and our power poles and lines are subject to damage from high winds, falling trees and drunken cowboys in pick-ups. So our power comes and goes a lot. I thought if the PC is turned off it would be safe if the power surged. Not so? Why is it bad to turn it off at night and back on the next day?

Wind Storm Clean-Up
Vancouver Island clean-up crews are still picking up the pieces after Good Friday’s wind storm. Most power has been restored but Hydro crews are still working to re-secure downed power lines. Many homeowners are also still dealing with the winds’ aftermath, especially those who had trees fall on their property.
Is anyone else currently having violent weather from the remnants of Ernesto?
I’m in central NJ and I’m surprised that the power is still on! It’s been raining buckets all day and the wind hasn’t stopped. I lost count at how many trees have toppled and am glad that none have hit my house as of yet!!

I live in Florida, and we are just about to get hit w/a bad storm. I have 7 pets, and wont abandon them. c mo
We have 6 cats and a huge mutt. we live in a garage apt. in the country and we are surrounded by huge, and I mean HUGE trees.
We are expecting tornadoes and 50 mph winds, 5 inches of rain in 1 day, etc. Well, it is 12:02 a.m. Tuesday and we have no place to go. Last time I went to my b.f.’s with all the pets but we cant go there anymore cuz a tornado caused a 300 yr. old oak to fall right in the center of it and smashed it!! So, what would you folks do? The dog is in the garage right now, and I feel that is the safest place to be. Normally, I would load everyone up in the car but we only have 1 car and there would be no room for cages and the huge dog. Please let me know what you folks would do, especially before we lose the power! And there are no shelters to take all of us. thanx, and please wish us luck!!!!!!!!!
Nature girl, I want to personally thank you for your answer. How you managed to get out of the house fire with all of your animals is beyond me! All of my animals are rescue animals as well. We have lived thru much worse weather, and even tho this is ‘only’ a tropical storm, we can get hurricaine winds. I can’t squeeze everyone in the bathroom, there is just no way, so, we will just have to play things by ear. No matter where the kitties are hiding I can always find them, and only if a tree falls on the roof will we be in danger. I WONT even think about a tornado!!! Puhleeze!!! But this sure as heck aint no Katrina, but we are going to get hit the hardest in all of Florida – just my luck, lol!
thanx to all the well-wishers out there, but Nature Girl, you gave me strength! thanx again! – Lauren
