I just read a pretty interesting article called The Doc Is In - Spring Severe Weather Preparedness. It talks about how to stay safe when storms hit during the spring months.
Basically, the article says that we should all be prepared for potential severe weather by having a plan in place, making sure to keep important documents in a safe place, and having an emergency kit ready to go.
One thing that really stuck out to me was the importance of having multiple ways to receive weather alerts. I remember one time when I was living in Texas, there was a tornado warning, but my phone was dead and I didn’t have a radio. Luckily, my neighbor had a weather radio and we were able to find shelter in time.
The article also recommends keeping an eye on the sky and being aware of any changes in weather conditions. If it looks like a storm is coming, it’s best to stay inside and avoid driving if possible.
All in all, the article is a good reminder that even though spring is a beautiful time of year, it can also bring some pretty scary weather. But with a little bit of preparation and some common sense, we can all stay safe and ride out the storms.
