Did you know that the only difference between a hurricane, a cyclone, and a typhoon is the location of where the storm occurs? The weather patterns that make them up are the same: weather disturbances, warm tropical oceans, moisture, and even light winds.

Are you aware that June is International Mud Month? The initial goal behind it was to remind us of the outdoors, the organized chaos of mother nature, and maintaining a connection to it. However, it also seems fitting to talk about mudslides, how they affect the country, and why Big Bags USA can be a protector from them. Here are a few things to inform you on mudslides, and how our flood barriers protect from mudslides. The Makeup of A Mudslide Burned slopes are extremely susceptible to mudslides because hot fires actually change the soil structure of the ground beneath. This causes the ground to repel water more easily, meaning less rainfall is absorbed and more runs off. During heavy rain events, the extra runoff can be so overwhelming that it picks up loose soil, dead vegetation, and rocks. Typically, these mudslides, or debris flows, start as smaller flows at various points on a slope. These small flows eventually converge at a stream bed, resulting in a massive sludge of water, m...
