Hurricane Precautions
A day off of school is normally a great thing, unless it is hurricane season! Hurricane Isaac made landfall less than an hour ago. For those of us that live near the Gulf of Mexico, that meant lots of preparation and safety precautions.
The area that I live in is predicted to have power outages for up to three days. We made sure to “stock up” on snacks, gas, and lots of magazines! If you live near the gulf, I encourage you to watch your local weather channel and take all necessary precautions to keep you and your family safe if bad weather should occur.
Tips to stay safe during bad weather:
1.Have an evacuation plan.
2.If you must stay in your home, locate a room closest to the interior of your home to stay in.
3.Stay away from windows and doors.
4.Purchase bottled water and other non-perishable items in case of power outages.
5.If you are like me and have younger brothers and sisters, come up with fun “projects” or games to keep them occupied.
You are all in my thought and prayers!
