Can you even believe the weather this week?? I can’t remember the last time it rained this hard in Orange County. My patio furniture was knocked over, rain started pouring in a leak in our sliding glass door, and I was afraid the tree in the neighbor’s yard was going to end up splitting in two and landing on our roof. It didn’t. Nothing like a little weather to freak out us OC residents, huh?! We are not cut out for this!
There was actually a tornado warning in my area. Tornadoes?! What on earth? My girlfriend sent me an email from South County wanting to make sure our house was still standing. I told her it was. Then she suggested an emergency preparedness post. Awesome idea! Thanks Melanie!
So, I hopped on over to www.redcross.org to find some info.
{If you head on over there, consider making a donation to the Red Cross Haiti relief efforts. And, just so you know, you can also text “HAITI” to 90999 and $10 will be donated to the Haiti relief fund.}
In any case, here is a great PDF you can download with easy information on how you can prepare your family just in case. No time like the present. Click HERE to download it. You can also Click HERE for emergency fast facts.
Stay dry out there and be safe!
