7 Interesting Videos Showing Ways To Protect Your Home Or Business From Floods [Videos]
Living in South Louisiana, floods are something we all have to deal with at some point. All I can think about is, there has got to be a better way other than sandbags. Sandbags do work fairly well, and are cheap enough for cities to offer them free when needed. However, It's 2018, and you would think we would have come up with something better by now. I've been researching the internet for the past few weeks, and here are some decent things I've come across in dealing with flood waters.

I know I'm not smart enough to solve this problem, but I know you are. Hopefully by seeing these ideas, it might spark something in you that could eventually save people a lot of heartache.
