Preparing for a storm
To have time to prepare for a storm means staying informed. Radio, TV and State websites will provide plenty of warning about local windstorms. So always check for issues heading towards your area.
With that kind of warning, you can make preparations beforehand, and that begins with the outside of your home. If possible, take your vehicles, garbage cans and anything else that you keep outside such as your barbeque and patio furniture, and secure everything in your garage or other sheltered area.
Don’t be tempted to think that patio chair only cost a few dollars so it doesn’t matter. It is not the chair you should worry about, but what it hits at 100mph that can cause costly damage. A flying object is the quickest way to end up needing storm damage roof repairs after the storm is over. Use tie downs or sandbags to secure anything outside that is too big or heavy to move during the storm. You may think they won’t move, but its better to be extra cautious.
