Now Dean is going to be a totally different story. It is a hurricane or you can call it a cyclone or typhoon depending on which part of the world you live in. Unlike in India, hurricanes in US are named alphabetically and it alternates between a girl’s name and a guy’s name. Pretty funky system if you ask me! Well now about Dean, it is currently near the Lesser Antilles and getting ready to wreck havoc in Florida and might be some parts of the Texas coast. It is really too early to forecast things say the meteorologists and I would think with their oh-so-sophisticated technologies it would be otherwise. Well currently they predict it to be a Cat 4 when it reaches the US waters and it just means on the destruction scale from 1 to 5, 1 for the least destructive and 5 for the most, Dean could cause some serious damage.

So this weekend we plan to make basic prep incase we experience an emergency and Dean decides to hit Galveston just 45miles from Houston. Stocking up on basic non-perishable stuff like water, some canned food, a first-aid kit, batteries, flash-lights etc. We also plan to design a grab and go package which just means, incase we are asked to evacuate it will be the package we grab and leave. It would contain the most important documents and some other stuff. So if you live in the coast make an evacuation plan please. It is essential and stock up now instead of waiting for the last minute.

Stay safe everyone!
