I am anything but an alarmist but I appreciate the way this severe weather situation was handled. It certainly beats the alternative had the weather esculated into a tornado.
I lost 30 mns of time but feel that is a small price to pay for the sense of security I felt that I had done all I could to protect myself and my precious belongings. Just MHO. The good thing is that we could all choose how much or how little we wanted to prepare.  |
I agree wholeheartedly, SALYBOW. I just now dragged back into the house all of the stuff I put in the van in the garage yesterday when the tornados threatened! I am actually thinking now that I may put together a suticase of essential clothes and personal items that I can just grab the next time. These could be clothes that we don't wear regularly or some that have seen better days. I can't imagine having a tornado destroy my home and I (if I am lucky) am left standing in the front yard wearing the only clothes I own. I will never forget seeing clothes and other personal items in the trees off Cherry Lake Rd., adjacent to The Villages, after the 2007 tornado. Will a tornado destroy my home some day? Probably not. Am I going to take that chance? Absolutely not!
