Hurricane Earl

“To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power.”
- Maya Angelou



With Hurricane Earl threatening the Eastern US coast, this is a good time to review hurricane preparedness. Would you be ready if a hurricane hit your neighborhood? Yesterday I examined many websites for advice but the best site for getting started is http://www.ready.gov/america/beinformed/hurricanes.html 
which provides simple checklists for the three preparation stages:


                 Get a Kit,        Make a Plan,         Be Informed.

This site is also available in Spanish at http://www.listo.gov/america/beinformed/hurricanes.html

Bottom Line

I'll provide more details in the days to follow. But as my wife was reminding me last night, KISS, or Keep it Simple Stupid. The ready.gov site is the perfect starting point - very useful instructions but not too long as to be overwhelming.
