well the article never said it would stop your home from flooding - it was specifically done around doors - which those and windows are the biggest entries for massive flooding to occur - so taping the door certainly minimizes intrusion.

If the water comes up two feet outside my house and my doors are fully sealed by duct tape, it is still going to seep into my home and the level inside will be the same level outside after a little while.

Doesn't everyone still have rolls of ducttape and plastic sheeting to protect ourselves from anthrax distributed by crop duster? Can just put that around the bottom half of the house right?

that looks more modern than 1957.

When I did a paint job on my 74, after I sanded down I used JB weld on the rivets. Works great.

Duct tape works to patch a pinhole leak in a radiator hose for approximately 20 miles.
