Lessons Learned From Ukraine... Evacuations Traffic Jams Remind me of Floridians Stuck on the Road Before Hurricane IRMA. Now is the Time for Hurricane Prep Not Once It Begins to Rain..

 

Winter seems to be making trouble.

Ice, Snow, Wind and Rain.

Stay off the Icy roads !!

If you live in the SE.. Florida.

Enjoy it.

Come hurricane season it'll be problematic.

Florida definitelly in it this year.

But more on that later.

Before the sunset in the Ukraine....

...dark clouds cloaked the sky!

Really not much I can say today on the weather, except that you learn from weather many things. Be it Winter or Hurricane Season I keep a bag with priorities in it in case we need to leave suddenly or the power goes out and I need to find things fast. Foods that do not need electricity to eat (no we don't have a generator in Raleigh) and I'm aware of the weather threats at all times. Usually, thankfully, nothing really happens here but I know I can and learned from the past that having basics in a place I can find them even if the lights go out is important.

It blows me away that the leaders in Ukraine in denial insisted publically they didn't need to worry and only yesterday after Russia moved in did they tell people ...while they were being bombarded...to make a "go bag" and to go into bomb shelters. While that's good advice, it should have been pushed earlier as realistically they needed to preapare "go bags" and evacuate (if they planned to) before the bombs began to drop.  

And it hit me... Miami doesn't have subways.

NY has Penn Station.

Russia has subways... bomb shelters.

My point here is not political it's about the things you learn from weather dangers and how to prepare for them and it's sad that after the Russian troops were past the gates were they told to find a bomb shelter and put together a "go bag" as the "STORM" was on the horizon and the tea leaves didn't need translation.

So with that in mind...........

1. Make a "Go Bag" for hurricane season.

2. If in Florida and you plan to evacuate if there is an IRMA storm with FL in the Cone... 

    Plan that evactuation now...figure out your plan before the hurricane season begins.

Just some weather thoughts here as we all watch what is going on ...on the other side of the Atlantic, because in a short time it will be Hurricane Season and it's better to have a plan than no plan. 

With prayers for safety everywhere both in Europe and here and in all parts of the world!

Ps... Know where your Hurricane Shelters are! Know what your plan is... Get hurricane supplies before you need them and know your atlternative routes out so you do not get stuck on the Florida Turnpike running out of gas trying to evactuate from South Florida ... while everyone has a cousin in Miami it might be good to be on good terms with cousins far from Miami. That's a song for another day..but again remember... make plans now not after the storm surge rolls across your beaches!
