    I know it's a little late, but they make a product called barricade. Its a gel applied with a garden nozzle and educator out of a 5 gal pail. Or the locally fd might have it if you ask. Maybe a neighbor around there has it to coat the exterior of a building close to a tree line. You spray it along top of of wall below fascia and let itnrun down. Protects your for hours. Alot of times ladder fuels(grass etc) can be mowed or back burned to control the spread. Ove seen old timers run a hose and sprinklers up on the roof as well to extinguish embers. You obviously don't want to wash the fire retardant off the walls with sprinklers. Hope youall do ok.

    I'm sitting here in Lamar, CO and I feel like I'm aboard ship with all this wind. Wife is convinced she's going to lose me to a tornado. Thinks I'm not taking it serious when I say it'll probably just rock me to sleep.

    I think it’s 3 four inch LED round style per side, in a stepped down pattern inside to out. I have never seen them on, and at 100 feet I still couldn’t take the pic straight on. Had to get to the side to reduce the glare.
