There’s a 1967 song entitled Don’t Sleep in the Subway<\/i> sung by Petula Clark, which is a fine example of taking the time to tell people something they should not have to be told at all.\u00a0So, here I go telling you: Don’t live in a flood zone!<\/b> You should not have to be told that at all.<\/p>\n

Here are unedited photographs I took in Las Vegas, Nevada. These show you in rather obvious ways why you should not have to be told: Don’t live in a flood zone.\u00a0I shot these photographs in Las Vegas zip code 89142, which is one of those places in the Mojave Desert where you can easily find a flood zone not to live in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
