Just a couple of weeks ago was Severe Weather Awareness Week. The National Weather Service created it so people can learn about severe weather and put an action plan in place in the event of severe storms. Well, that time has come! As broadcasters, we may sound like a broken record at times, with the seemingly endless reminders of where to go for safety, but that information can save lives. So, as a reminder, the lowest level of your home is always the safest. The basement if you have one. If not, choose a windowless interior room.
Do not assume that your family members know where to go. Be sure everyone in your family is on the same page, and also where to meet after the storm. Stay sky aware, and keep your radio on for the latest updates!

Ok, so I may not actually DO the laundry, but one thing I know for sure….my super soft polyester and poly-blend clothes sure do STINK! Even after washing. So what gives!? Polyester has become […]

The Home Fire Risk You Never Knew About
Today, I was cleaning the kitchen and realized it has been quite some time since we have cleaned our toaster. The little crumb trays underneath were basically overflowing with crumbs, and the bottom of the toaster was coated with crumb “residue.” I would venture to guess that cleaning the toaster isn’t real high on most […]
