Well the good Lord spared us tonight.
If this fire had done any jumping it would have headed right for us.
We were right in the middle of the smoke path as it headed south.
The winds were intense , news said 20 or 40 miles an hour. It was blowing hard.
I have sprinklers running on the roofs of the buildings all night. The one on the house is 20 feet tall to cover the whole house. The house is rock along the bottom and metal siding so I like that.
This was a good bug out practice session, at least that was the Mrs. job to get things packed.
I was setting up sprinklers and found out a couple things.
The pump I used for pumping out a flooded basement is while good for that job is useless for running even one sprinkler. Plenty of volume but no real pressure. not even good for one impact sprinkler head.
Need to buy better pump if I want use the swimming pool as a water source!
Also placement of the sprinklers is a choice between do the wall get wet OR does the roof get wet? and what about the other side of the house.
Is the weeds high on the side of a out building , the side you never see? Needs to do some cutting.
