Homeowners in Ireland are advised to prepare a checklist as Storm Eowyn approaches, bringing severe weather and potential disruptions.
Met Eireann has issued red weather warnings. They say this could be one of the worst storms in years. Wind gusts could reach over 110 mph, especially along the coast.
So, what should you do? First, charge all your devices. Power outages are likely, so having charged power banks is a smart move.
Next, secure your garden furniture and trampolines. Strong winds can turn them into dangerous projectiles. If you can, move them indoors or weigh them down.
Also, think about creating a storm kit. Stock up on essentials like water, food, and medications. It’s better to be safe than sorry!
Don’t forget to check your fuel supply too. With the cold weather coming, you’ll want to keep your home warm.
Make a list of important numbers to have handy during the storm. This way, you can easily reach out for help if needed.
And remember to check on your neighbors, especially those who might need a little extra help. It’s always good to look out for each other.
Lastly, secure any loose items in your garden. Bring in fragile pots and decorations to prevent them from being damaged.
Stay safe and prepared, everyone!
