The
most important thing to prepare for a storm is knowing
were to go in case you need to evacuate. If the later is not a
possibility then create
and practice a plan of action for you and your family and build and
emergency kit with first-aid supplies, water and nonperishable foods.
After
that
you can focus on identifying the safest place in your house,
establish an emergency communication channel with your family and
reinforce the roof, windows and doors. <span>Secure
the heavy furniture to avoid accidents and move it away from door and
windows and keep tuned to your local radio station to know how to
expect at every time.</span>
When prolonged and excessive rainfall the more water percolates and the water table (below the earth surface/soil) rises. The higher the water table the more the possibility increases for a spring to form in the sense that it would now be easier for the water to find a means of escaping the underground through perhaps a crack or a cave, etc.
Grass often dies near roads that have been <span>salted to remove ice during the winter because the salt spread out into layer of the grass </span>cell. Then the water goes into the ice because the grass is attracted to the salty ice water. Hence, this dehydrates the plant cell by removing excess water, so it dies since it can no longer perform the proper cell function.<span> </span>
