Finally, do not forget to keep yourself and your family safe during a storm
. As important as your home is, your life is even more important. Have a safe place to gather during violent weather events and stock it with snacks, a weather radio, and warm blankets. Tornadoes and windstorms often arise fast and past just as quickly, but you never know if you will be stuck in a shelter for a few hours. Have a plan in place for children and pets should the unexpected occur. If everyone knows where to go and how to behave in an emergency, it will help keep everyone safe.While you should make an effort to protect the interior and exterior of your home, the lives of your loved ones are most important.
