No amount of preparedness for the storm
kept our home and our emotional well being safe. Although we have
an older, sturdy home, we had many older trees on our half acre
property which blew over or broke, and subsequently created further
damage to our wind-torn home. Being inside and hearing the house
being pummeled for seemingly endless hours has left me nervous
and apprehensive of even the slightest rainstorm. Now we know
to keep our trees trimmed, all supplies on hand, and to have entertainment
inside. We know that the best plan before, during and after is
to be prepared and secure with your family.
