What do you think of when someone says STORM?

Through all seasons of the year we could see and be faced with many storm situations. It is my opinion, that when most people think of a storm it is related to a thunderstorm, tornado activity or if you watch much news you've heard a lot about hurricanes lately. Currently we are watching Summer fade away and although Fall is here we are still experiencing some warm days in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Very soon the leaves will begin to change colors but most are still green at this time. We will experience much cooler temperatures as the days and weeks move along. I think that Fall is a happy medium time of year and I truly enjoy the cooler temperatures and morning crisp air. Very soon you will begin the process of raking, bagging or mulching leaves in the yard. This will consume your time and energy for many weeks but I ask that you consider the next season to come. As you are outside cleaning the yard please look up at your roof for missing shingles, look at your gutters to ensure they are still attached to the home but more importantly consider cleaning out the gutters. Before long we will be faced with one or more beautiful Winter storms. The snow and ice will begin to form and to protect your home from damage you will want to know that you had plenty of time to prepare your homes exterior. Gutters which are full of leaves and debris sure don't help prevent ice dams which could lead to water inside of your home. Maybe you need to trim the trees so that when ice accumulates on them they are not weighted down to damage or fall onto your roof. Be prepared for Winter storms even while enjoying Fall and feel confident that you've done everything possible to upkeep and protect your home.
