Anywhere It Rains, It Can Flood - Flood Safety Awareness Week

Last year there were more than 5600 floods in the US with property damage in excess of $5.6 billion.  In the last 5 years, there were over 26,000 floods exceeding $198 billion in damage affecting EVERY STATE IN THE US.  This week is National Flood Safety Awareness Week (March 15-19).  FEMA has developed an informative website to help consumers understand the risk, protect family and homes, and recovery if needed.

The cost of flood damage is severe - 2 inches of flood water will cost $7800 for repairs; 12 inches will cost your almost $19,000;  and 18 inches will set you back over $26,000.  

If your home is in an area that does not typically flood, the insurance rates are less than $1/day - only $257 for $100,000 in coverage and only $348 for $250,000 in coverage.  For less than the cost of buying pizza each month, you can have the peace of mind of protection from a flood loss.

If you need flood insurance or assistance with your insurance needs or want to save money on insurance, contact Angelyn at Treutel Insurance Agency, http://www.treutel.com/, your Trusted Choice.

Strange Scientific Research

Imagine conducting a study to determine which is worse – being hit over the head with a full beer bottle or an empty one? As it turns out, empty bottles are ‘sturdier’ because of the air pressure in the full bottles. Good to know.

Reader’s Digest reviewed several scientific studies that were, well, quite odd which made for fun reading.

Just in case of chemical-warfare, you may want to own a brassiere containing air-filters to use as a facemask (I will leave it to your imagination how that may work : ). Another discovery is that cows need affection – if they have a name, they produce more milk. And did you know that bacteria from a giant panda’s excretions can reduce kitchen waste – who thinks of these things ??? Check out these and other fun inventions at www.readersdigest.com/inventions.
