I hear that OKC is in for an ice storm! I really hate cold weather and I especially hate driving when the roads are icy. So I looked up some tips on how to prepare for an ice storm. I found these helpful tips on http://www.ehow.com/how_2063908_prepare-ice-storm.html.
Step 1: Watch the weather. Notice when conditions present themselves for the possibility of an ice storm. Not all ice storms are predictable, but meteorologists can let you know when conditions are favorable.
Step 2: Prepare an emergency kit with flashlights, batteries, water, non-perishable foods, hand can-opener, a first aid kit, prescription medications, blankets and warm clothes for each member of the family. Make a checklist of things included in the emergency kit. Update the list if you use anything from the kit so you can replace it as soon as possible.
Step 3: Have a charged cell phone ready so you can contact emergency officials. In an ice storm, power may be cut off for several days.
Step 4:Unplug all electrical devices such as televisions, microwaves and computers. If the power goes out, unplug all remaining electrical devices and turn off the main breaker.
Step 5: Get your car ready by filling the tank with gasoline and storing extra blankets in the trunk. Have a first aid kit and an emergency road-side kit in the vehicle also.
