What to do, if hurricane is coming to you?

Imagine that hurricane is coming to you and it's so late to order a ticket on the airplane, what will you do then?

At first, think where to hide better.

Hovel or simple wood home at the coast will not save you: in the best case it will flood by waves risen hurricane, in the worst case it will take out to the sea and nobody will not able to find your tracks. On the Caribbean the building of new houses already have thought over: piles are beaten deeply in the land, so if roof will be taken out then walls will stay.

The better way to wait till the hurricane will over on the lower cellar of houses, but remember that home located in the low-lying areas is danger to be flooded, on the top of mountains to be gone by wind. And of course, don't forget to board up windows because glasses can't fly and wound a man.

At second, think what you want to save and keep this with yourself.

Only that I did important from all of this to prepare for hurricane Ivan – just made cockroaches be afraid by clearing up my home. It turned out that my home was in the full order and it always ready for element disasters. :))

All souvenirs for relatives and pictures is packed and hidden in the protected place
All content of computer is copied: pictures, location music (I just wonder how many great things I had time to acquire for save). I think to put it with passport and money in the backpack together (I wish straps will not come out from me).

Oh! I need to clothe a bicycle helmet on my head – perhaps it's the most costly thing (I mean the head) :)))
