Friday Five: Weather
1. Have you ever experienced a hurricane firsthand? Yes two, both back in 1999 with Hurricane's Dennis and Floyd. Dennis was just rainy for a few days that made moving into our house very wet. Floyd came the following week, and while it did cause some damage (a tornado damaged part of my son's school), it wasn't too bad where we were.
2. Have you ever experienced outside heat over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celcius)? I've lived in both Northern California and Las Vegas, so yes, every summer that I was there. I think the hottest it got in Vegas was around the 120F mark.
3. When and where was the coldest temperature you have ever experienced? It was a couple of years ago, up in the US Northeast, where I live now. It got down to around -10F, and the wind chills were a lot worse than that.
4. Is your household prepared for a possible power outage of two to seven days? Probably not more than a couple of days. Although I fully intend to go somewhere where there is power if it lasts more than that.
5. Do you have a go bag? No. But all the important stuff is easy to locate. In any event, where I am isn't in severe weather area, and I'm not likely to get flooded or anything. The worst thing is snow/ice storms, and even then the hardest thing is getting out of my driveway.
