Everyone laughed at him until Hurricane Harvey came

Randy Wagner is "crazy prepper" from the small county of Brazoria in Texas, decided to make an unusual move when he heard that his home was threatened by heavy rainfall that was announced by meteorologists

Without hesitating, he decided to prepare in advance. He decided to protect his property with an unusual move, which his neighbors watched with a mockery, and they called him "crazy" when they saw what he had done to protect his house from the flood.

We all thought at first that it was crazy when it began to build a water dam system around its property, but it turned out to be a genius idea, because all our neighborhood houses were flooded, and its property is still dry, he said Randy's neighbor for local media.

Randy is determined to protect his house from floods by purchasing the system he found on the Internet. He went to Louisiana to take the order, where he was instructed to put the dam in the proper way.

Then he returned to Texas immediately and threw himself to work so that everything would be ready before the storm of Harvey came, which brought great weather trouble to the area, flooding many homes.

The flood system is 120 meters long and 80 centimeters high. It was necessary to fill it with water so that it could resist the pressure of water that would grow due to the water level that would come. But in this case, however, he did not overwhelm Randy's dam, because he was afraid that the level of water might have even more added.

This did not happen and managed to keep his property dry. This interesting story was recorded by local media from Texas.

Randy received great praise from ordinary people, but also from local authorities, who named him an example of how people in the future should be prepared for such or similar disorders.

"State offices can not help everyone at the same time when there is a remarkable situation like this with Harvey," said a local sheriff.
