We had a straight wind storm (70 mph) blow through last Friday morning which got me thinking.
If I had 1 minute to grab 1 thing and dash to safety, what would that 1 thing be?
Well, the mister had already left for work, so it wasn't him. Bud the Wonder Cat was hiding under the bed where I couldn't reach him. Don't have a clue where my wedding photos are. The only things close at hand were my netbook and the new Nora Roberts book. I could have run to the dining room and grabbed my Ivory Black out of the hutch I guess. So I didn't grab anything but a flashlight cause the power went out. We were very fortunate; didn't have any damage and power was restored by the end of the day.
I am really curious to know where you folks would dash to safety? We built our house to withstand hurricane force winds and I feel as if I am safer at my house than I would be anywhere other than in an underground bunker. I have one interior room-a very small bathroom under the stairs. Two people seeking refuge in the bathroom would have to be very good friends. I'd bring a sleeping bag and Emmie would bring Mr. Squeaky.
Well, I was dashing to the bathroom which is in the middle of the house, no windows, no exterior walls. We don't have a basement but we do have a trapdoor in one of the closets that goes down into the crawlspace. Isn't that weird? I just don't know if I could force myself under the house.
I never even thought about grabbing my purse - duh.
Wednesday night there was another storm with slightly less wind but we both slept through it. That's kinda scary that I sleep that soundly but we survived so that's the important thing. Supposed to be another storm tonight/tomorrow. Why do I live in Kansas?
i would take my box of pictures that i have yet to put in albums .storms are rare here so i would be safer in my home .i do not live in a flood zone so i guess other than a bad snow storm which would only keep me off the roads i feel pretty safe.
