Home Page The "link" buttons (above) sure look bare!!
Maybe, just maybe, they need to be "re-numbered" or something. Let's start on page 3. Then, next week, let's fix page 1. But, let's start with a new divider (just before the music begins). I'll have to go back and fix page 0 and page 1 next week. Nope, let's do them right now. Why wait? So let's talk about being prepared for a Hurricane. The Wednesday Daily Sun provided a nice "2018 Hurricane Preparedness Guide" insert that everyone should have kept. I know I did. Besides all the advertisements, there were some very good articles: (1) Experts say this season likely to be slightly above normal..... A typical year has 12 to 15 named storms, of which 6 to 8 become hurricanes and of those, 1 to 5 could become major hurricanes. However, this year the Colorado State University is predicting 16 named storms, of which there may be 7 hurricanes, and 3 of those could become major hurricanes. (The Chronicle goes out on a limb and says that this will be closer to a normal year - all that without the "educated" guess that comes out of CSU.) There are EASY ways to remain informed during a hurricane..... Buy a Weather radio and tune into WVLG (our local AM-640 radio) They go on to list Emergency Contact Numbers. (2) When getting your home storm-ready, focus on having a plan..... Do you have a plan or are you just so-so on the storm planning? (3) Prepare to have the following ready for the storm: Food and Water 1 gallon of water person for 3 to 7 days. 3-day supply of canned food and a manual can opener Nuts and dried fruit paper cups, plates and utensils Personal Items Two sets of car and house keys Clothes, socks, shoes, pillows and blankets Sleeping bags Books, board and card games, puzzles and other entertainment Cell phone with wall and car chargers Comb / Brush Cash Hosehold Items Cooking tools Battery-powered or hand-crank radio Battery-powered or hand-crank flashlights Light sticks Extra batteries Whistle Tarp, duct tape, work gloves and a rain poncho Knife, hammer, pliers and screwdrivers Thermal Blankets Medicine and Health Eyewear Toiletries, hand sanitizer and paper towels First-aid kit that includes 2 pairs of sterile gloves soap antibiotic wipes antibiotic cream bandages scissors painkillers tweezers thermometer stretch gauze and roll tape antacid laxative petroleum jelly sterile dressings eye wash anti-diarrhea medication hydrogen peroxide Toothbrush and toothpaste Glucose monitors and test strips for diabetics Denture supplies Hearing-aid batteries Bleach for purifying water, if necessary (16 drops for every gallon of water). Important papers Photo identification, prescriptions, insurance and utility bills placed in a waterproof container Local and state mapss Photo of property and valuables (4) A map "Atlantic Hurricane Tracking Chart" (5) A page explaining the names of any 2018 storms: Alberto Gordon Michael Tony Beryl Helene Nadine Valerie Chris Isaac Oscar William Debby Joyce Patty Ernesto Kirk Rafael Florence Leslie Sara and there you have it; the first 21 storm names of 2018. And they explained the hurricane catagores: Category 1: Sustained winds of 74 - 95 mph (some damage) Category 2: Sustained winds of 96 - 110 mph (extensive damage) Category 3: Sustained winds of 111-129 mph (devastating damage) Category 4: Sustained winds of 130-156 mph (catastrophic damage) Category 5: Sustained winds of 157 mph or higher (catastrophic damage) (6) A ten question test of your hurricane I.Q.
