Big windy windy comes to the US & A. / Gustav reaches Cat5: ‘The Mother of all storms’

Gustav - Big Windy Windy comes to the US & A

The key to survival is advance preparation. If you can’t evacuate follow these steps:

• Stay Indoors…..
In an inside room away from doors and windows. Don’t go out in the brief calm during passage of the eye of the storm. The lull sometimes ends suddenly as winds return from the opposite direction. Winds can increase in seconds to 75 mph or more.

• Protect Property
Without taking any unnecessary risks, protect your property from damage. Temporary repairs can reduce your losses.

• Stay Away From Windows and Glass Doors
Move furniture away from exposed doors and windows.

•Keep A continuous Communications Watch
Keep radio or television tuned for information from official sources. Unexpected changes can sometimes call for last minute relocations.

• Remain Calm
Have a nice wee cup of tea. Your ability to meet emergencies will help others.
