As I drove around just my neighborhood I had to count the amount of trees that had fallen on both hands. Then I kept driving to see more of the wreckage this storm caused. I saw some houses with multiple trees fallen on top. Crushing the structures of their home. Beware very often when a tree falls on a home or garage, the damages are bigger than they seem. Try opening a door, if it opens the same as usual you may have gotten less of a hit. If the door scrapes the ground and struggles to open, the framing of the house could be severely damaged.

Quick tips for the windy and freezing storms. To help pipes from bursting keep a constant flow on your bathroom or kitchen sink. Just a little trickle is enough to do the job. Keep your water shut off accessible. Adding a filter to the water could be needed. Also maintaining your thermostat if possible. Lastly, prepare for a vacation as well. Make sure if you need to, you can leave. Avoid using vented and unvented combustion small space heaters, they can be deadly at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and house fires. We hope everyone can return to their everyday lives soon.
