George, were you plagued with sinus problems while you were working in the Middle East...? Wasn't it very hot and dry over there? I am impressed with the amount of public preparedness which exists in your area. But tell me, just what kind of soil would allow 5 or 6 inches of rain to drain in half an hour...? Does that mean that any fertilizers or chemicals would be washed down and away, almost instantly...? Does your house stand on concrete blocks?
