Unfortunately neither I nor my wife have such a built in barometer. We have a digital weather station but by the time it indicates a storm is approaching, it's already too late. [/quote] Imagine living in Fla and not being able to feel temperature, pressure, and humidity. [/quote] I didn't say that but a fast approaching tornado can't be detected so easily. [/quote] You can tell. Even in Florida. You can see storm clouds approaching, and yes, the clouds LOOK GREEN, rather than greyish. Eeery looking. I have one cat who is horrible when the pressure is dropping. I always know a storm is coming, even if it's still clear outside. He meows and nudges me and wants to be held. He's the best barometer! I didn't realize that was what was going on for the longest time. Now I trust his "moods." [/quote]
Original Message
Currently I live with my wife and 3 girls in Florida. As long as we get live weather updates, we know when to bunker down for a hurricane or tornado. But what do we do when the lights go out when there's nobody running the NOAA or SPC at the government office? How will we know when a storm is coming?
What about you preppers in Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, Texas, Kansas, Kentucky? How do you know when a tornado is coming without the NOAA warning you? Are you worried?
My family has a bugout (really a vacation home) in Idaho. I know realistically in an actual SHTF situation we'll never make it out there in time so we're looking to buy a property in Kentucky. But my wife is worried about storms.
Any suggestions to calm her?
