Well, it looks like tropical storm Marco and Laura may end up coming toward our area, and, though we've seen recent hurricanes, it’s easy to forget what you need in order to be prepared for any storm.

Before the storm:
Make sure you have a three-day supply of non-perishable food and bottled water, as well as other essentials such as flashlights, batteries and a first-aid kit. Keep a seven-day supply of medications, a tool kit and a battery-powered radio on hand.
Make copies of personal documents such as birth certificates, prescription information, home/vehicle policy numbers, deeds to your home and/or property and vehicle registration. Store original documents somewhere safe, such as a safe deposit box, and keep copies at home.
Keep cash in small denominations on hand. This can come in handy in case the power goes out in your area, making ATMs and credit cards unusable.
As the storm approaches:
Fill your car up with gas.
Bring inside bicycles, lawn furniture and anything else that can be picked up by the wind.
Close windows, doors and hurricane shutters. Turn off propane tanks and unplug small appliances.
Set the refrigerator and freezer to the coldest settings and keep the doors closed so food will last longer if the power does go out.
After the storm:
Find out if it is safe to enter your community or neighborhood. Follow the advice of local authorities.
If it is safe to do so, take pictures of any exterior damage for insurance purposes.
Before entering your home, look outside for damaged power lines, gas lines, foundation cracks and other exterior damage. It may be too dangerous to enter the home.
If it is safe to enter your home, inspect the interior of the home for damage and take pictures for insurance purposes.
Avoid drinking or preparing food with tap water until authorities advise that it’s free of any contaminants.
Check the fridge for spoiled food. “If in doubt, throw it out,” the Red Cross says.
If you see dangling power lines, stay away from them, and report them to the electric company

Texas is no stranger to floods and the damage that can be caused by rising waters. Here are some facts you should know about flooding and flood insurance:
*You have a 1 in 4 chance of flooding during the life of a 30- year mortgage if you live in a high-risk area.
*Flooding is America's number one natural disaster, yet too many property owners remain uninformed about flood risk and flood insurance.
*ALL properties are at risk, regardless of the flood zone!
*You don't have to live in a high-risk zone to be a victim. Almost 25 percent of all flood claims come from low - to moderate-risk areas. You are 6 times more likely to experience flooding than fire.
*Even minor flooding can mean major finacial difficulties. Imagine just a few inches of flood water invading you home. That's more than enough to destroy floors, damage walls and ruin appliances.
FLOOD INSURANCE IS AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR AGENCY!
