Responding to the Weather
Overall this has been an unusually warm, but otherwise uneventful summer here in central Ohio. In the wake of the last few days, I’d like to ask you to be especially careful.
Electrical storms are beautiful, but dangerous. If you enjoy watching the ‘fireworks’, please watch from the safety of a secure area.
Storms mean low visibility. Please slow down on the roads.
Storms mean an increased risk of tornadoes. Listen to the radio when the skies darken and have your tornado plan in place, making certain every member of your family knows what to do.
Storms mean road hazards. Please be especially watchful for downed trees and power lines.
Storms are dangerous to your pets too. Please bring outdoor pets inside.
Storms mean flooding. Please do not cross flooded streets, even if you think you know how deep the water is. This has proven to be deadly again and again.
Flooding means water contamination. Areas that are hardest hit with rain, often have contaminates in their drinking water. Please listen to the radio and check with your local health authorities to be sure your drinking water is safe.
Finally~Please pray for our neighbors to the south, as they hold on through hurricane Dean. Dean is the first level 5 hurricane to hit land since Andrew devistated Florida in 1992.
