Thunderstorms can happen at any time. Be Ready!

As the cold weather descends on our area, remember that thunder and lightning are also a part of the wintry mix that we face.  Here are some facts from Ready.gov that you need to be aware of if a thunderstorm is headed your way.  

Thunderstorms are dangerous storms that include lightning and can:

• Include powerful winds over 50 MPH
• Create hail
• Cause floods
• Cause tornadoes

It is important to prepare for a Thunderstorm

• When thunder roars, go indoors!
• Move from outdoors into a building or car.
• Pay attention to alerts and warnings.
• Unplug appliances.

Thunderstorms occur with little warning and can be especially devastating, so you’ll need the company that you can trust to rise to the occasion.  Regardless of the type of storm, SERVPRO of Wheaton / Glen Ellyn / Lisle can handle any size disaster.  Call us today at (630) 384-1040.
