Safety

When lightning strikes

If you are caught outdoors during a thunderstorm, follow the 30-30 rule. Seek a safer location immediately if the thunder occurs 30 seconds or less after the lightning. Once the storm has passed, wait at least 30 minutes after the last lightning flash before leaving the shelter.

THE EASEST WAY TO FIND SAFETY
Those that are seeking absolute safety are really coveting their own graves, for only in the grave is there absolute safety.

What children should know

We all know that dialing 911 can save lives. Teach your children how to use this valuable emergency service with these tips.

Tell your children to first find a trusted adult in an emergency. If a trusted adult isn’t available, they should dial 911.

Show young children how to dial 911 on the phone. Make sure to say “9-1-1” and not “9-11.” Watch them have a trial run (unhook the phone, of course)

Explain that 911 is for emergencies – and make it clear what a real emergency look like. List the reasons they might call 911, such as a house fire, a car accident, or if someone is hurt so badly that he or she can’t move or talk.

Explain what an emergency does not look like. (Hint: it’s not when they can’t find a favorite toy or have been tripped by the dog.) Let them know that calling 911 when there isn’t an emergency is dangerous and wrong.

Teach your children that they can trust the 911 dispatcher, and that it’s OK to answer any questions – even if they seem personal. Make sure your children know their address.

When Driving In Fog
When driving in fog, roll down a window. You’ll hear cars coming before you’ll be able to see them.

Homemade solution to getting rid of ants

Got ants? Get grits.
Sprinkle uncooked grits on anthills.
Supposedly the grits soak up so much moisture in the ants’ digestive system, the insects simply die of dehydration.
