Today's message is very important to those who are stuck in this winter storm nightmare!
There have been Deaths due to the Lack of knowledge of what to do! Some folks have bought Gas Heaters into their homes to try to keep warm.
You can die from the FUMES FROM THESE HEATERS!
Please Think First!
You can't bring a b-b-Q Grill into your home to try to warm up this will kill you!
One guy in MO. was so cold he was trying this!
If you still are without heat or lights you must seek shelter
where there is some!
I find it so hard to believe that in this day and age that Ice could shut down the South From Florida to Mo. and Chicago
and East to New York and Maine
LOST OF EVEN ONE PERSON IS NOT EXCEPTABLE!
This was a predicted storm! The worst one in Years!
Where the hell is F.E.M.A.!???
HEADLINES....Kentucky Begs For Help!
My Question is Why!!!
Mr.Obama said things would get better?
Well I don't see any help coming!!
Instead of worrying about foreign countries,
We had better start right here at home!
I've seen lots of waste with that first 350 Billion the Republican party PUSHED through and now they are crying Fowl?
My advise to Mr Obama is Stop Kissing Ass and get down to running this country like you promise!
I know I have gotten off the subject...
Here is what you can try to do to help yourself
1-Never light candles and go to sleep..Danger fire!
2- Never use a gas propane heater..Fumes can Kill!
3-Keep a weather band radio with fresh batteries..To keep you updated
4-Get to a shelter as soon as you are able.
...Staying in the house you could die of exposure!
Please stay as safe as you can.
Your food will spoil and you may become stranded.
Be sure you carry blankets and snacks in your car or truck!
This will help if you are stranded.
Carry a bag of sand and a shovel to get you going again.
Be very careful on snow or ice;
take your time it's better than going off the road!
Carry a CELL-PHONE to call for help.
If you have friends or family that still has heat and lights;
ask if you can come over and stay there for a while,
be sure and give them some money for letting you stay over
for the extra cost of Food And Water And heat and lights!
Help clean up after those many meals that you are going to share.
Be sure and say thank you for this favor,
It will go a long way towards next time
Offer to return the favor, God forbid if needed!
*****Please check on our elderly****
They are the first ones to die in this kind of weather. Cold and freezing weather! Please Call or knock on their door to see if they are doing OK.
Some are afraid of High bills and will not turn on the heat others just forget!
It is shameful that a Electric company can turn off the Electric without at least trying to contact that person by phone,
knocking on the door,
notifying a social service agency
to go and check on our Older citizens!
This seems to happen in the heat of the summer
or the deep cold of the Winter and no one seems to care about this
because it happens every year!
MY PRAYER IS THAT YOU ALL WILL STAY SAFE AND WARM
AND GOD WATCH OVER YOU TILL WE MEET AGAIN.
YOUR FRIENDS
BIG DEAN AND THE GANG
