ohh we need to make the best out of them ..

:: waiting for claiirey ::

*crap... how'd I miss THAT?

*snarf...

riya in 3 yrs one has not come closer than 5 miles of the house but its scary sometimes

almost to the point i wish it would happen already
my house insurance is triple the value so BAM off i go
and also just the waiting and fear is yukky

i am powerless over people places things and weather

The very thought is scary to me. Never seen one in real but rains and tornadoes i think is more than enough to handle at one time ..

scary ..

But reality i think .. that man is so powerless really..

:splaaaat!!!:.. .. Spicey just sat on the Mango... yellow juice dripping from her....... ...

But Spicey is no fool.. she grabs the squashed remains and flings them in Kid's direction...

Bingo!! good shot Spicey

All you can do is relax & keep your wits about you.
You're never powerless~

Stay someplace in the house that has a stairs or main support area(like a center closet).
Fill the tub with water in case you have no fresh water to drink afterwards.
Find all your canned foods(meats, beans & veggies, ect..) & put them in a box with a can opener.
Put anything from the fridge that you want to keep fresh(milk, juices, fruits, cheese) in the freezer.
The more you have in the freezer, the better/longer it will keep them cold.
Cook some perishables like eggs so you still consume them if you lose power.
Put your candles into cans to make windproof holders, put your valuables into ziplock bags, stash extra put food in bags, too. Put together a 1st aid kit with aspirin, safety pins, tweezers, a small jar, peroxide, bakingsoda, charcoal, a sharpie, matches...ect.... (and put in extra ziplock bags, too)all into something airtight. Get together with other people. More people stand a better chance should something happen. Watch what the animals do. A cat will not panic until the tornado/hurricane is about to hit, then they tend to try to hide. DO NOT HOLD ANIMALS.
Take everything off the walls & tops shelves. No one needs to get konked on the head.
Have you things in a central location(eg- stairs) in case you have to move FAST.
Wear sneakers & lose fitting pants, have a jacket ready. Find your axe or shovel & keep it near by. Find any camping supplies & keep them close... like in a closet.
Try to take pictures. It sounds silly but if something were to happen & they found your digital camera, the pictures might be able to tell them where your were last.
Nibble on calming foods... bananas, chocolates, carbohydrate foods such as:
# Oatmeal snacks
# Popcorn
# Bagels
# Tortillas
# Rice cakes
# Dry cereal with no milk

Play word games or board games. The right brain/left brain stimulation can be very calming & distracting.
Avoid alcohol... yeah yeah... THAT sucks, I know. It impairs your train of thought, causes your blood to thin(preventing clotting if you were to get hurt), & increases mental stress. Seriously, I know that sucks.
