Hurricane Ready-but no Hurricane-it was a good drill for all
We all rushed out to the stores earlier this week here in Texas to make sure we had enough bottled water, batteries, food, and other items that the news media said we would need to prepare for the oncoming hurricane Eduard. Many places of business and schools announced they were closing on Tuesday due to the impending storm.
Tuesday came--but no hurricane. Some areas did get some well needed rain, a few areas even had some flooding, but nothing really out of the ordinary for those of us who live here.
What did we learn from this? Well, I guess it is better to be prepared than not to be! All of those supplies we went out and bought should be stashed away, so if we get another hurricane coming this way many of us will already be ready!
It was kind of like the fire-drills we had when we were in grade school-it got everyone more in tune with what to do, even the emergency services got some good practice in ! Hopefully we will not need those supplies, but we are ready if another one really hits!
