What to do in a Storm

Spring is almost here which means high winded storms may be in the forecast. Call the tree experts at The Parke Company to come inspect your trees to test their health as well as where they may fall in the event of the heavy winds, like a tornado.

Some helpful high wind storm tips:

* Make sure your trees are secure in your yard and have them maintained throughout the year to avoid disease or bug infestations that will harm the integrity of your trees

* Have the upper limbs of your trees looked at and determine their health so you are sure they won’t fall under strong winds

* Never go outside if you suspect a storm is coming, go into a basement or a room without windows until the storm passes – remember a tornado can look invisible until it picks up enough debris

* Never open your windows to equalize the pressure, it allows the storm winds and debris to enter your home
