Re: [MBZ] Tornadoes
Yes, they tend to come up my direction now. In fact a few years ago a possible tornado was headed right at Okie acres. The wife and kid went to the center hallway, I watch as it passed. It went right over and shook the house. After it passed us it did touch down a few miles later.

Re: [MBZ] Tornadoes
Basements are not common around here due the the high water table and the soil is too moist. It also goes from one extreme to the other in that it can be real dry then real wet. This causes foundations to move slightly. Both of our houses are in crawls but depending on how wet or dry it is, I can detect slight variations in how various doors open and close. I might have a door that slightly drags the frame when opening or closing and other times does not. Most houses around here these days are built on slabs. These often crack and require major repair involving piers.

Re: [MBZ] Tornadoes
I used to send the wife and kids to the central bathroom when the sirens blew, then I'd go outside to watch. Never was one, though they did hit a few miles from us several times. We can just barely hear the sirens from the closest town now, and don't worry about it since the kids are all grown and gone. After you hit geezer status, it just doesn't seem that big a worry.

Re: [MBZ] Tornadoes
My dad bought a new house in the area of Washington, IL that was obliterated in the 11/17/13. He has a “tornado room” in his basement that is outfitted quite comfortably. My sister simply has a basement. I’m sure a legit midwest thunderstorm will wake up this desert dweller, but my sister assured us she’s wake us up to go to the basement if necessary.

Re: [MBZ] Tornadoes
The house we had in Indiana was like this. While a portion of the basement was exposed, the part that wasn’t had a constant flow of water under/next to it. You could hear it running in the drains and sumps (there were two) and you could set your watch by the pump running, even in the driest parts of the year. To compound the problem, the idiot that built the place took 1-1/2” PVC from each pump and ran it into a “Y” right before they exited the foundation to the run to a catch basin in the back yard. Some serious design flaws here: 1.) If both pumps were running at the same time (and they could) you would far exceed the volume of water that a 1-1/2” PVC pipe could handle. 2.) The 1-1/2” PVC ran nearly 125 feet to the catch basin it drained into. Do the math - that made it even more difficult to move an adequate volume of water. Had we stayed there I would have completely replaced the drain pipe and sized it to 4”, at least. I would have bumped the output pipes on the pumps to 2” and run them separately into the drain line and eliminated the “Y”. This setup was why the basement had flooded in the past. Sure, two pumps had more than enough capacity to move the volume of water out of the sumps, but the inadequately sized lines out of the pumps (and putting a “Y” to combine them!) and the drain line made it impossible to move that water out. -D > On Sep 18, 2022, at 11:07 AM, mitch--- via Mercedes > wrote: > > On 2022-09-18 10:52, dan penoff.com via Mercedes wrote: >> You could probably do a basement where I live in FL, the issues are >> more dealing with the ground during construction (sand) and keeping it >> dry, that is, having a reliable system to keep water out of it.I don’t >> think the water table is that high where I live, but with daily rains >> this time of year you would need to have a good drainage system and >> pump(s) to keep the water away.
