I'm preparing my camera bag with severe weather necessities for the next big storm:
- Ham radios (Yaesu FT-11R 2-meter hand-held, and Icon 2SRA 2-meter hand-held with wideband receiver)
- Camera (Nikon D40x 10.2 MP DSLR with 24-50mm and 50-200mm AF lenses)
- Extra batteries for both, memory cards for the camera
- Blackberry (So I can insert witty wall retorts and nearly-funny status comments on the go)
- Computer (Dell mini Inspiron 9 and possibly Nokia n800 Internet Tablet)
- Beef jerky and David Sunflower Seeds (ok maybe not enough room, but they're definitely necessities)
- (After re-reading over this list, I can leave my Official Geek Card at home, all the other junk will sufficiently identify me as such.)
I read about the tornadoes in Oklahoma earlier this morning. There was one in northwest Edmond and thankfully, there were no reported injuries. I hope there were no injuries that were unreported. Several people lost their lives closer to the Texas border, and storms hit other parts of the state as well.
How are you preparing for severe weather season? Do you have a plan, bathtub, lower-level closet, or even the Official Katie Horner Severe Storm Preparedness Helmet?
