We’re thankful for meteorologists also known as the weather people, including our weather apps on our phones. These are the ways we stay informed about incoming storms and inclement weather. So what happens when you see that cloud with the lightning strike on your weather app? How do you prepare for a storm or severe weather? Since you’re not here to respond here are a few tips:

1. Keep a storm safety kit. Yes, even if you have a storm shelter you’ll need this kit. The best part about it is you can make it yourself so include things like a flashlight & the batteries needed, non-perishable food, water supply, you may want to keep a copy of your insurance documents in there, a first aid kit and many other things.
2. Keep candles & a lighter! In the event of a power, outage candles can be a real lifesaver!
3. STAY INSIDE! We know it may look beautiful or maybe you’re just nosey to see what’s going on. Stay inside!
4. Stay away from trees and damaged power lines! In the event, you don’t have a shelter or you happened to not follow #3 please stay away from trees and damaged power lines.
