Hello, my friend, hello again; today we come together to talk about 11 Things You Should Never Do During a Hurricane and hope the blog can help you.
Hurricanes strike with deadly power. Use these tips to ride out the next storm in safety!
If you reside along the Eastern Seaboard or the Gulf of Mexico, you know that hurricane season is no joking matter. Preparation and planning are key to keeping your family safe. If your locality issues evacuation orders, don’t second-guess the experts: Get your family, pets, and important documents to a safer area. If you have not been ordered to evacuate and you choose to shelter in place during a hurricane, be aware that riding out the storm comes with hazards. But you’ll stay safer if you take the proper precautions, use your common sense, and never do any of these 11 things during a hurricane.
Don't walk outside to “feel” the wind.
Curiosity killed the cat, and it could be just as lethal for you. Hurricane winds can reach anywhere from 75 to 200 mph, and even small bits of debris can be deadly at those speeds. Stay indoors until winds die down, and don’t be deceived by the lull that occurs when the eye of the storm is overhead. Once the eye passes, winds pick up quickly and come from the opposite direction. So, as tempting as it may be, don’t test the wind!
