Being prepared for our unpredictable weather definitely helps add a sense of returned power to us during this season.
Remember these key things this storm season:
Tornado Watch - keep an eye out and get ready. The conditions are favorable to creating a spin-up.
Tornado Warning - Seek shelter immediately.
Seek shelter in this order of availability 1. basement, 2. innermost and windowless first floor area, 3. closet or bathtub. If you are stuck in the middle of the storm while driving, pull over and get low. Protect your head and neck.
During heavy rainfall there is a high probability of flooding.
Turn around, donāt drown.
Staying prepared is the best course of action. Anchor down those trampolines, trim and remove dead trees. Clean up yard space and keep an eye on your elderly neighbors!
