No fun and games when facing Hurricane Ike emergency preparedness

Hurricane Ike no cartoon Hurricane Preparedness a MUST gets disaster supplies & emergency preparedness kits ready

OK when I was growing up I loved the cartoon Popeye so on a whim I figure I’d offer the Top 4 Ways Hurricane Ike and Popeye are similar.

Both appear weaker than their potential

1. Both know where to go for energy ( Popeye + spinach -- Hurricane Ike + warm waters)
2. Both tear thing up ( Popeye and Brutus destroy things while fighting Hurricane Ike destroys community in Cuba, Turk and Caicos Islands
3. Both have people crying for help ( Popeye its Olive Oil that is yelling for help Hurricane Ike it is the people devastated by severity of storm

Ok the fun stuff is over. Yes not only for this blog entry but also in getting hurricane survival ready. We have seen what can happen as a result of HurricaneIke. It looks currently like Texas might be the principal area of Hurricane Ike to strike later this week. Hurricane Ike projected landfall is still up in the air. No matter it is important for everyone to have their hurricane supplies at the ready. Have your gone over your emergency preparedness checklist recently? Do you have all your disaster preparedness necessities at hand? Where are you going if you are told to emergency evacuate? Where is the local emergency shelter? What are you doing to safeguard your pets? Do you have a good disaster guide?

Theses are just a few of the questions you need to be asking your self to prepare for a killer hurricane.

Cartoons are just that cartoons someone draws up on paper a hurricane is not fictional -- it is real and kills hundreds and disrupts the lives of thousands so please get hurricane prepared NOW.

So please get your hurricane preparedness done now.
