[QUOTE="Caractacus Potts, post: 1452695, member: 3706"] I am in Illinois. We are in tornado alley and oftentimes the Mississippi or one of the other rivers floods and causes a great deal of damage. If any RVFers own land out in the middle of nowhere that isn't that far from a major highway you should consider startging a business focusing on debris removal. Below is the blurb from a Debris Management Class that I had a few years ago: [TABLE] [TR] [TD][RIGHT][B]Description: [/B][/RIGHT][/TD] [TD]This one day course is designed to provide participants with the ability to manage enormous amounts of debris that a disaster can produce.
