Flood Safety Awareness Week
With spring right around the corner, we need to be aware when conditions are right for severe weather. Spring storms can move in swiftly and bring dangerous wind, lightning and heavy rain. OK, I admit I’m a weather watcher, or a storm junkie. I’ve foolishly driven around during storms as a youth, in awe of nature’s awesome power.
I’m still fascinated with the power of severe weather, but now as I’ve grown older, hopefully I’m a little wiser, as I prefer to check my favorite weather website for severe weather conditions, which is the NOAA National Weather Service website at www.noaa.gov.
NOAA has announced that March 17th through the 22nd is Flood Safety Awareness Week. And you’ve probably heard their safety slogan before, but it bears repeating…
“Turn Around…Don’t Drown.”
