I think I will make a RED FLAG WARNING SURVIVAL LIST!

Last night a RED FLAG WARNING came across the weather screen. That is to indicate an impending potential for high wind, low humidity and lightening. We get them at least once a month. Forest fires usually result. A month ago in Eagle, Idaho several homes and thousands of acres burned up in a very short time from lightening caused fires.

Yesterdays warning was real.

· 70 miles per hour wind
· Several homes burned
· 40,000 with out power at midnight
· 7200 with out power 18 hours later
· One camper dead from falling tree
· 80 injured at the county fair
· Massive downage of trees in Boise
· Multiple forest fires in southern Idaho
· 100% of Boise fire vehicles dispatched
· Fires all caused by downed power poles

What prep would be appropriate?
