My city is under a state of emergency, its flooding in some areas (not mine) and there is a bad storm comming, worse than last night. Our warning siren is broke from last night. Shuld i take cover, or drown it out with music and not worry, its just a storm. altho it was caled the biggest outbreak of tornados in our history last night, and today is gonna be worse. Alredy, there is constant rumbling of thunder adn the sky is dark (its 1:20pm) and flashiung with lightning. My computer has a UPS (120v battery with surge protecter) and the lights are not flickering much yet. I live by a creek (also a MSD building) so i think im safe from flooding. but the house fumbles from wind and thunder. the rain is just a cnostant hum. Am i being mature, or just stupid, by ignoring the littel storm.

Where are you? Are you by yourself? Where would you go if you left? I live in La., I got to UNO and they always say to stay inside. There's not much more you can do but to get all of the things you know you'll need by you to have just in case the lights go out. Stay away from windows. Keep your refrigerator closed at all times, if you have lunch meats and such put them in the freezer, so if your days without electricity you can thaw that out. Other than that it seems that its kind of too late to do anygthing else. This is what it means when they say to ride the storm out.

This is tough. While the media has a tendency to overblow things like this, it's not a good idea to play a guessing game when it comes to storm warnings. If you're especially concerned about your safety and your property, go with your gut feelings and take cover immediately. A "little storm" could turn out to be a major disaster, and since no one has a crystal ball to know for sure, it's better to be safe than sorry. As we've seen from past natural disasters, not taking warnings seriously could result in a lot of problems..... Best of luck to you and I hope it really is just a "little storm."

If there are tordatos get down in your basment, if you dont think it will flood much. Start filling jugs up with water, just in cass you driking suppley is infected. Get all your vaulbes in a water proof cass thing and bring it down stairs. Stay in the house and start eating the stuff in you frige and freezer. Do something to get you mind off of the storm. Dont use any thing electonce usless it was one of those lighting absorber things. Good luck.

It never hurts to be prepared. Shut your comp down and wrap it in a plastic bag to protect from water. Get some flashlights and drinking water together. Unplug any electronics in your house except for the radio, which you should be listening to since the emergency siren is broken.

Ha!
If you live by a creek then keep a eye out. If a tornado comes you'll know it. They are loud you'll know.

If your city is in a state of emergency, that is a clue to WORRY.
Your power could go out and be out for days, your water could be contaminated, and help may not be fast coming.
Button down the hatches and stay alert.

If you have not been told to evacuate stay home and ride it out. If you hear or see a tornado take cover in the basement away from windows.

I'm really sorry about the conditions, just board up, stay in the middle of your house and stash on food, water,(etc)
