Hurricanes, Tropical Storms And Driving - How To Prepare

We have all heard the saying I’m sure that water and oil don’t mix. It is so true. This is especially the case when the water and the oil are mixing on the roads we have to drive on.

It’s bad enough to have to drive in heavy down pours of rain but it is dangerous to drive when the oil from the roads are floating to the surface and causing oil slicks. With many heavy duty trucks on many of the roads this will result in even more slick spots especially in heavy isolated storms or in hurricanes or their aftermath.

So if you have to be out in the rain take extra precautions and make sure you have a disaster kit for your car. I f you don’t have to be out in it STAY INSIDE for your sake and others.

You may drive on the road just find but your driving could help to bring up the oil off the surface and result in others being affected. So stay, off the roads, stay in and relax. Hey it’s the weekend if there is a storm in your area..

QUESTION: What are you doing to prepare for the active weather weekend? Where are you and what do you think you should do to prepare for storms?
