Cincinnati residents should prepare for an upcoming storm expected to bring thunderstorms and heavy rain starting Sunday afternoon and continuing intermittently through early next week. Here are some key steps to be ready and stay safe:
- Monitor Weather Updates
Check trusted sources like AccuWeather or local news frequently for real-time updates on storm progress and any severe weather alerts. - Secure Outdoor Items
Bring in or firmly secure outdoor furniture, decorations, and trash bins that could blow away or cause damage in strong winds. - Prepare for Possible Power Outages
Charge mobile devices, flashlights, and backup batteries. Keep a supply of non-perishable food and water in case power goes out. - Plan Travel Carefully
Avoid driving during heavy rain or thunderstorms when roads may become slippery or flooded. Allow extra travel time if venturing out and watch for localized street flooding. - Clear Gutters and Drains
Ensure rain gutters and storm drains around your home are free of leaves and debris to help prevent water backup and flooding. - Take Safety Precautions
Stay indoors while the storm is active. Avoid using electrical appliances during lightning and keep away from windows. - Check Emergency Supplies
Review or update your family’s emergency kit with essentials like first-aid supplies, medications, and important documents. - Protect Pets and Livestock
Bring pets indoors before the storm and ensure livestock have shelter and plenty of fresh water.
By staying informed and prepared, Cincinnati residents can reduce risks and safely weather the upcoming storm.
