Episode notes
Stranded By Rapid Atmospheric River Flooding
- Chris got stranded on his family farm when an atmospheric river flooded the only road, turning their property into an island for about 24 hours.
- He monitored with a drone, had supplies, and watched water rise fast before it suddenly drained.
Maps And Markers Beat Slammed Websites
- Local warnings and overwhelmed county sites made it hard to know if residents were in the 100-year floodplain.
- Physical markers or simple local signage (like Japan's tsunami stones) would help people know evacuation risk without frantic web searches.
Don't Charge Lithium Batteries Below Freezing
- Avoid charging Li-ion batteries below freezing to prevent damaging metallic crystal formation inside cells.
- Either remove batteries for indoor charging or add controlled heating (tank pads, thermostats, relays) before enabling chargers.
