Fall Thunderstorms Can Cause Substantial Damage!

Thunderstorms can be more dangerous than you think! They happen often and can cause a lot of damage to your home. Of course, there are ways to help prevent this. To prepare for a thunderstorm, you should do the following:

• You should build an emergency kit and make a family communications plan.
• Remove dead or rotting trees and branches that could fall and cause injury or damage.
• Secure outdoor objects that could blow away or cause damage.
• Get inside a home, building, or hard top automobile (not a convertible).
• Shutter windows and secure outside doors. If shutters are not available, close window blinds, shades or curtains.
• Unplug any electronic equipment well before the storm arrives.

Here are some facts about thunderstorms!

• They may occur by themselves, in clusters or in lines.
• Some of the most severe occur when a single thunderstorm affects one location for an extended time.
• Warm, humid conditions are highly favorable for thunderstorm development.
