Many of us have family and close friends who have had to weather these latest storms. Although budgets are tight and lives are busy, there is no excuse for at least not reading up on the material that is out there online pertaining to preparations. If you can't find any or don't know where to look, drop me a line. Knowledge is the key here folks as is common sense, like not driving 10 miles over the speed limit in freezing weather.

I know of one individual who camped out at work for a couple of days so he wouldn't have to travel the icy highways to work. Before he left he set his family up and they weathered the power outage. It can be done folks. I wish you well.
