How to Be Prepared for Storm Season

How to Prepare for Storm Season in Oklahoma

Storm season in Oklahoma can bring high winds, heavy rain, hail, and even tornadoes—often with little warning. Being prepared ahead of time can help protect your home, your family, and your peace of mind.

Start by inspecting your roof and exterior. Look for missing shingles, loose flashing, or signs of wear that could turn into leaks during a storm. Cleaning out gutters and downspouts is also important to ensure proper drainage and prevent water buildup.

Next, secure outdoor items. Patio furniture, grills, and tools can quickly become dangerous projectiles in strong winds. Store them safely or anchor them down before storms roll in.

It’s also smart to create an emergency kit. Include essentials like bottled water, non-perishable food, flashlights, batteries, a first aid kit, and a phone charger. Having a weather radio or backup power source can make a big difference if the power goes out.

Don’t forget to review your insurance coverage. Make sure your policy is up to date and understand what’s covered, especially when it comes to wind and hail damage.

Finally, stay informed. Keep an eye on weather forecasts and have a plan for where to take shelter if severe weather hits.

Storms are unpredictable, but preparation isn’t. Taking a few simple steps now can save you time, money, and stress later.
