bad weather prep - Friendly Chit Chat Discussions on Welcome!

Well, the tornado season officially started here in Iowa. We had our first "drill" put out by the national weather service today. Which reminds me... I need to set up our emergency bag in the basement in case of a tornado... Usually I put it down in the pantry and I have in it a pair of shoes for me (since I am usually barefoot), a change of clothes for the kids, some energy bar type things, disposable diapers for the youngest ones, a couple flashlights.. and whatever else I think of when I am packing it up. :)

What do you throw in your bad weather bag?

Oh, Cristy, I do not envy you. I know every year you go through the prep but I'd probably have an anxiety attack! A few weeks ago we had severe weather and near tornado winds and my husband was at a meeting! He drove home trying to be it and praise the Lord he did but I was freaking out.

We never used to have severe weather here but over the past 3 years that has changed. We get alot of tornado watches now and have had 3 tornado warnings (1 of which actually set down about 1/4 mile from our house). I hadn't really even thought about preparing an emergency kit but I suppose it would be a good idea. Incidently all the tornado warnings we have had have coincided with my being pregnant. A couple of weeks ago we were in the basement waiting out a warning when my 9 year old enlightened me that everytime I get pregnant we get tornados. lol.
