VOC Severe Weather Revisted

Voc- Severe Revisited!

So, with all the crazy weather changes we are having in Minnesota we decided to ask our followers again “What do you do to prepare for severe weather? With tornados hail and heavy winds this week our conversation was about severe weather and severe weather plans.

Sassy said she and housemates joined in the basement closet. They have an emergency kit including flashlight, water and radio. They waited the storm out in the shelter. Xerox said her family didn’t have a severe weather plan and that they just watched the storm on the TV. Victoria and DJ said their families watched the storm on the weather radar on TV and didn’t seek shelter as the storm missed them.

Webkin said he was in bed before the storm hit so he didn’t even know about the storm. Serena said they heading to their horrible basement with all their pets and waited out the storm. Afterwards they played with the egg size hail. They have no emergency kit but stated maybe it’s a good time to make one.

Dragon Lady said while she wasn’t worried about the storm she was very upset that her favorite shows Glee and Raising Hope were interrupted and she missed both of them.

Star gazer said that it’s very important to have a emergency kit, but also as important is to know your county so you know if you are in the path of the storm.

The discussion of the difference between a watch and a warning was opened again with Star Gazer explaining a watch means that conditions are good for a storm whereas a warning mean severe weather has been detected and we should seek shelter.  Based on our discussions, we would like to remind everyone to form a severe weather plan and stock your severe weather kits at your homes.
