RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY: U.S. Flood Control Corp. opened in Valrico in May offering what it says is the latest technology in flood control. The U.S. Flood product is a 50-foot-long vinyl tube that fills with water to repel rising water. What's more, company literature says the flood water can be used to fill the tube. Unlike sandbags, it can be easily emptied and reused. The tube, which retails for $1,250, weighs 60 pounds before it's filled with water and 6,100 pounds after. Call 727-2161 for an appointment.
