Interesting that you mention fire. I was talking with a fire-fighter friend of
mine one night. I said something about all my Legos and that they were made from
ABS. He kinda cringed and said that ABS had some nasty toxic properties when
burned. Lets hope we never have to find that one out.
OTOH, I suppose I am one of the 'hurricane & tornado' targets. I am high enough
that I'm out of the 100-year flood plain, but I'm only 20 miles from the Gulf of
Mexico. One of those tropical storms passed right over my house last fall. Good
thing it was much degraded at that point. A direct hit from a hurricane would
scatter lego pieces over a good part of the county.
