Question of the Day – During a Storm do you Store Valuables in Your Dishwasher?
FLORIDA, HOUSTON and ELSEWHERE! LOOKING FOR IDEAS OF WHERE TO STORE YOUR IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS?
Claim:
Your dishwasher can be a waterproof safe, sealed to keep water in, and secured to cabinets, under a granite countertop, so it's more likely to survive a storm, so it should do just fine.
Just make sure all your dishes are taken out before loading up important documents or belongings.
Possible Problem:
Possible problems could arise if your house is in a low-lying neighborhood where floods are prone. If your house is flooded, so is your dishwasher.
Closing:
Before leaving unplug your dishwasher, you don’t was hot electrical current nearby and in the unlikely event the dishwasher accidentally turns on.
