Winter is definitely gone here in Atlanta (thank goodness because Winter has been rough here)!  It
has been in the upper 70s and also hitting the 80s too.  The prefect Spring weather to get out and enjoy the sunshine!

Winter tried to linger longer when Spring first started but those April showers quickly pushed it away.  But I will say Spring can also bring in some bad weather as well. 

Strong storms and tornadoes happens frequently during the Spring time and if you plan ahead and be prepared for it, you can help remain keeping you and your family safe.


Here are some tips to be prepared for severe storm weather:

1. Designate a room to hide in that doesn't have a window around.  Places like a closest or a bathroom would work prefect for your family to gather in.

2.  Keep a working flashlight around and candles just in case the power goes off.  Don't forget the batteries!

3.  Have a battery operated radio handy so you can tune in to listen to the weather reports.

4. Don't ever underestimate bad weather warnings.  It's better to be safe than sorry.

5. Make sure your car gas tank is filled up just in case you need to leave your home.

6. Have your kitchen stocked with non perishable food items.

7.  Make sure to have plenty of bottled water.



Also with bad weather comes dangerous roads conditions due to the rain.  You must be careful and more cautious driving during the wet season.

Here are some tips:

1. Slow down!  You want to have better control of your car so you won't hydroplane off the road.  I've seen so many car accidents because people drive so fast and lose control of their car.

2. Don't brake so hard and try to not make sharp turns which could also make you lose control of your car.

3. Increase the following distance of the car in front of you (a few car lengths).  If a sudden brake happen and you need to brake as well, you don't want to slide into the back of someone's car.


Although slowing down can make a trip a little longer, it's worth being more cautious on the road and arriving safe to your destination. Just leave the house a little earlier.
