It's National Severe Weather Awareness Week!

Woo hoo! Party Time!  Maybe not, but it never hurts to know more about what kinds of severe weather we can expect in our area. 

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Natioanl Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) partnered to designate March 3-9, 2013 as National Severe Weather Preparedness Week, and is calling upon all Americans to Be a Force of Nature.

You can be a force of nature by knowing your risks, taking appropriate actions and being an example to your friends and neighbors by sharing your knowledge.  Because we live in an area prone to floods, snow and ice storms and wind storms, we need to be ready for action.
