disaster planning
One year ago today, the largest tornado outbreak in history was raking across Alabama and the rest of the south and eastern part of the US... 358 tornadoes in all. By this time, we had lost power here, trees were down south of us, and the F5 was heading this way. There are still people homeless and struggling to recover from this disaster. My family and I were very lucky to be located "between" the worst damage. My brother lost his power for 10 days, and his phone and internet were out for 30 days. DH and I only lost power for one week, and were lucky enough to have gas in the cars, charcoal to cook on, flashlights and batteries, and some (but not enough) propane to cook with. Our home is all-electric. This is not intended to bring you down, but just as a reminder that disasters can happen. Since these disasters, I try to keep the gas in the car at least half full, batteries recharged and ready to use, canned food in the pantry, etc. A little emergency planning now could make a huge difference later!
