Storm Ready

Today, I had to bring my newly packed Storm Readiness (as in I'm probably being overly paranoid) Bag to work. A wind storm is supposed to be blowing through the north Oregon coast over the next 2 or 3 days. This morning when I left the house, it was blowing rain sideways. Today, I'm thinking about trees coming down and as I told the ER nurses this morning: "the rain tends to bring out the crazies."

As for my overly paranoid Storm Readiness Bag, I now carry on the unit with me:

• A hard hat
• Rain pants
• Leather work gloves
• Headlamp
• Flashlight
• Safety goggles

At least if I get stuck on a highway this winter, I might feel a little safer while the wind is blowing and trees are falling down around me.
