How To Keep Your Family Safe During A Storm

Some storms can be fun to watch, such as summer rainstorms that don't cause any serious damage. However, while some storms can be beautiful, others can be dangerous and potentially lethal. If the weatherman is reporting that a big storm is about to roll through your area, then follow these tips on how you can keep your family safe, no matter what the weather conditions are.

Have A Radio That Doesn't Depend On Electricity

It's important to have a battery-operated radio on hand. This will allow you to keep listening to the weather report for updates, even if you lose power. While you might be able to listen to the weather report via your cellphone, cell towers can often lose service during serious weather incidents, while radio towers tend to be more durable. A battery-operated radio is the best way to stay updated.

Be Wary Of Flooding

During a rainstorm, the biggest risk is flash flooding. Flash flooding is what happens when more water is coming down than what the sewer system is prepared to handle. In the event of a flood, it's important that you move to the highest place in your house. Don't risk trying to save your belongings if flood water is pooling in your home. Not only would you risk drowning, but flood water is often mixed with sewage and is highly unsanitary and dangerous.

Stay Indoors

Going outside during a rainstorm is dangerous. High winds can create projectiles and the threat of lightning also exists. Unless being in your home has become dangerous, it's important that you stay indoors. In almost all serious weather situations, staying indoors is preferable to going outside. The only reason to leave your home during a serious storm is if flooding has made it impossible to remain inside.

A storm can be quite serious and dangerous. However, it's essential that you put the safety of you and your family first. Don't worry about your belongings; indeed, you can always seek out storm damage restoration services after the storm has passed. During a storm, stay safe and don't worry about your things.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
