Each year there tends to be at least a few spring thunderstorms that are pretty severe. After making it through a pretty uneventful winter, these storms can catch you by surprise. Here are some tips that can help you prepare for whatever mother nature sends your way:

• Always have a battery powered radio on hand
• Always have multiple flashlights and candles prepared for a power outage
• When leaving on vacation, unplug appliances and other electronics other than lights that are on a timer
• Stay indoors
• If a major store is immanent, close shutters and board windows if possible
• Keep an eye on large trees close to your home that could cause damage if they fall. Cut them back if necessary
• Always have extra food and water on hand
• Have a good shelter spot for very severe storms

There is no such thing as being too prepared for severe weather!
