It is important to prepare your home to prevent damage from a thunderstorm!

When a thunderstorm rolls through your neighborhood in Conneaut, there is only one thing you can do. It is important to prepare your home to prevent damage from a thunderstorm! Here are 6 tips to prevent future thunderstorms from taking a toll on your Geneva home:

• Unplug all electronics and appliances: Unplugging electronics and appliances during a thunderstorm can help protect them from power surges. 
• Secure outdoor items: Make sure to secure any outdoor furniture, decorations, or other items that could be blown away by strong winds. 
• Close windows and doors: Closing windows and doors can help keep rain and wind out of your home. 
• Move away from windows: If you’re inside during a thunderstorm, stay away from windows to avoid being hit by flying debris. 
• Stay inside: It’s best to stay inside during a thunderstorm. If you must go outside, avoid tall objects like trees and power lines. 
• Have an emergency kit: Make sure you have an emergency kit with flashlights, batteries, and other supplies in case of a power outage.
