The weather guessers aren’t finished rolling up their sleeves and furrowing their brows. Sure, the wind has picked up and the sky is still pretty blue with fluffy clouds floating above. But an extremely line of storms is predicted to hit around 6 p.m.
There’s talk of hail, booming thunderstorms, straight-line winds and possible tornadoes. It sure does sound like an end-of-the-world situation. The locust and plague must be on standby.
And don’t go thinking, “Ah, come on. That kind of weather hits other neighborhoods, not mine.” Rethink that thought. Was it just two years ago in May that the trees along Turtle Creek were felled by straight line winds?
So, play it safe.
- Think where you would head if all things start flying every which way.
- Why not park your cars in the garage or let them spend the night at a public, covered garage like a shopping center?
- Check out some software programs that will alert you if you’re in the path of danger.
- Charge your cellphones, tablets, etc. Wouldn’t want to run out of juice when it’s needed.
- Make sure that your computer(s) have surge protectors in place.
- If you don’t have to go out tonight, why not stay in and just chill?
Stay safe and don’t worry about those locust and the plague. We were just kidding.
