Grass Fire

Facility averaging over 150 visitors daily By Natalie Gentry With June under its belt, the Springtown SplashPad seems to be a hit with area kids. At the regularly scheduled Springtown City Council meeting on June 26 City Administrator, Mark Krey recounted how well the water park has done. “The SplashPad has been open for 19 days and, on average, there have been 151 people there per day,” Krey said. Krey noted that the actual number may be slightly high because staff members hadn’t kept data on season pass holders in attendance during the first few days of business.

The data shows that 40 percent of customers who have visited the water park are city residents and 60 percent have been county residents. There have been a total of 58 after hour parties so far with 36 scheduled by city residents and 22 more by nonresidents. Krey said that there have been several weather days for the personnel to contend with. He said that information about the SplashPad – including closings – can be found at the city’s official website at www.cityofspringtown.com. This is the only site for official notices about the SplashPad, Krey said.

Springtown ISD test scores continue to trend upward

By Natalie gentry While Springtown students enjoy some fun in the sun as summer break continues, Springtown Independent School District’s administrators have been busy analyzing the results of the standardized tests administered during the 2013-2014 school year. Kathy Donoho, SISD director of curriculum, instruction, assessment, and accountability, provided a report to the school board at the June 23 meeting breaking down the scores and suggesting an upward year-overyear performance trend. The Texas Primary Reading Inventory – an early reading instrument used to identify children at risk of reading difficulties between Kindergarten and second grade – end-ofyear results showed continued improvement over tests administered in the fall. The Texas English Language

Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS) is given to students in all grades. There were significant changes made to TELPAS this year, so it is difficult to compare these results to the 2013 scores, she noted. However even with the changes, 44 percent of students tested in K-2 and 49 percent of students in grades 3 through 12 advanced at least one level from 2013 to 2014. Results for the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (aka STAAR) were a mixed bag depending on grade levels. When tackling scores from the test, Superintendent Mike Kelley showed results by grade, explaining that overall scores are up in seven areas and down in seven. “Looking at our performance in eleventh grade for the last seven years, we have continued to trend upward.” he said. In response to the areas where

scores were low, such as writing, SISD had a multitude of staff development workshops scheduled for this summer, Kelley noted. Flex Program SISD board members also voted unanimously to continue the Optional Flexible School Day Program through at least the 2014-15 school year. Providing a variety of learning opportunities, Kelley said students across the district have benefited from the opportunities. This year, the district had the most students enrolled in the Flex Program to date. “Students can attend night school to either replace a failing six-weeks’ grade or to recover a previously failed semester grade,” he said. “There have been quite a few students who otherwise might have dropped out.”

Identity theft addressed at Chamber luncheon By Natalie Gentry Pam Cannataro of Risk Management spoke at the Springtown Chamber of Commerce luncheon on June 26 about combating identity theft. People whose identities have been stolen may spend months or years – not to mention thousands of dollars – cleaning up the mess the thieves have made of their name and credit. While criminals still obtain sensitive information by stealing mail and rummaging through trashcans, many have become experts at digital thievery. Cannataro laid out a litany of resources, tips, and tasks for consumers to ensure their identity is as safe as they can make it. Reduce calls from telemarketers Cannataro recommended that everyone do what they can to lessen their interaction with telemarketers. The National Do Not Call Registry gives consumers a choice about whether to receive telemarketing calls at home or on their cell phone. Once a number has been on the registry for 31 days, telemarketers should not call, and a complaint can be filed

“Default settings usually don’t offer if they do. Contact The National Do Not Call much privacy,” Cannataro said. She also recommended leaving much Registry at www.donotcall.gov or call of the profile blank 1-888-382-1222. “You don’t have to fill in every blank just because a blank exists,” she said. Monitor credit reports Finally, Cannataro warned users to Cannataro also recommends that consumers obtain free copies of their consider how their friends’ privacy setcredit reports through the Annual tings might affect their own privacy. “If your friends have less stringent Credit Report Request Service.

Cannataro suggested that consumers contact the IRS if they receive a notice saying their records show that they were paid by an employer they don’t know, or if more than one tax return was filed in their name using their Social Security number The IRS doesn’t start contact with a taxpayer by sending an email, text or social media message that asks for personal or financial information. Cannataro warned that if someone does receive an email that claims to be from the IRS, they should not reply or click on any links. Instead she said to forward it to phishing@irs.gov. There is no foolproof way to prevent identity theft. However, being aware of credit activity and being cautious with sensitive information can help consumers identify if identity theft is being attempted or has taken place, she said. If someone discovers they have become a victim of identity theft, they should contact the Federal Trade Commission for help with what steps to take, their legal rights, and what to watch out for in the future.

Epigraph nabs honors at state competition The Epigraph collected four awards at the Texas Press Association’s annual Better Newspaper Contest conducted in Corpus Christi June 21. The paper won a pair of first place plaques. The Epigraph took top honors in Headline Writing, based on a trio of submissions that included a pair on earthquakes – “Let’s get ready to ruuuuuuumble” and “What the frack?” – as well as a line from a Lynyrd

Skynyrd song, “Ooooh, that smell...” about the biosolids controversy in June 2013. A judge said the heads “made me want to read more.” The Epigraph’s other first place plaque came in Advertising. A pair of stories written by reporter Natalie Gentry finished second in “Feature Writing.” Those articles detailed SHS’ football manager and a World

War II veteran’s reminisces. Two news stories – about the biosolids and a bus accident – took fourth in News Writing. In the contest, each top four finish tallied specific points; in the overall running for the coveted “Sweepstakes” award for most total points, the Epigraph tied for fourth with the Meridian Tribune with 300. The top paper in Spring-

town’s division was the Westlake Picayune. In the contest, 159 papers submitted 1,566 entries that were judged by the New Mexico Press Association. Editor Mark K. Campbell said, “It’s always nice for hard work to be acknowledged by your peers. We will continue that labor, determined to bring a Sweepstakes plaque back to Springtown.”

Magazine picks Porcpuines to be playoff bound by mark k. campbell The Porcupine football team will return to the postseason, according to Texas Football magazine, the annual summertime publication that predicts each Texas high school season. Now led by Brian Hulett, Springtown is picked to finish third in the new 5-4A; last February’s UIL realignment bumped classifications up one notch and placed former 3A teams in 4A then set them in either Division I or II.

SHS will vie in Division I as a “Big School” with a familiar juggernaut, Kennedale. The Wildcats are the magazine’s choice to win 5-4A – and picked No. 7 in Division I in the state in 4A – with newcomer Alvarado picked second in district. The Porcupines are slotted third. The Texas Football Springtown synopsis noted that Hulett “inherits a solid team” that includes 10 starters returning, six on offense.

Top athlete Dillon Springfield is the district’s leading returning receiver with 618 yards and 10 touchdowns. But he might end up quarterbacking SHS since last year’s signal-caller, Landry Turner, now plays for Graham. Other returning Porcupine staters include stout running back Ryan Snow who rushed for 1,154 yards and 9 touchdowns, wide receiver Mateo Herrera, and back Fisher Drewry. The defense is expected to be led by linebacker Chance Nelson, end Robert Dease, and cornerback Ricardo Reynoso, all returning veterans. The top four teams advance to the postseason; the magazine thinks that fourth 5-4A squad will be Lake Worth. The adjoining district to SHS’, 6-4A, is talented. Returning state champ Argyle is expected to repeat and Dallas Carter, a team loaded with talent, resides there as well. This fall – well, late summer – the Hulett era will begin with a toughie on August 29, hosting Decatur. The Eagles, picked third in 4-4A, find themselves in a brutal district with Graham, Gainesville, and Wichita Falls Hirschi.

He announced his participation in a border security briefing with U.S. Customs & Border Protection officers, and his tour of a detention facility where he said people who illegally crossed into Texas are being housed. Last week U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-California, was in Brownsville where she visited a federal detention facility. On June 26, Pelosi wrote to House Speaker John Boehner, asking for a bipartisan solution to “the humanitarian crisis at the southern border.” President Obama on June 28 announced he would ask Congress to approve $2 billion in emergency aid to help Texas and other states address the crisis.

thresholds for emissions states: “EPA asserts newfound authority to regulate millions of small sources — including retail stores, offices, apartment buildings, shopping centers, schools, and churches — and to decide, on an ongoing basis and without regard for the thresholds prescribed by Congress, how many of those sources to regulate.

Early American Susan Carr’s Bible and Diary, Part I

eorge Carr would have been about twenty one when he came to America in 1620, on the Mayflower, as the ship's carpenter, bringing his young wife Lucinda Davenport Carr with him. He located with the pilgrims at Plymouth, but his wife was one of the unfortunate forty-one who died the following winter and early spring. His older brother, William and his wife Susan came to America in the fall of 1621, on the ship Fortune, with Capt. Roger Williams, and thirty-five passengers on board. They landed at Plymouth, Nov. 7, 1621. They stayed the following winter in Plymouth, and on June 1, 1622, they started in a south-westerly direction through the trackless wilderness with an Indian for a guide. After a journey on foot of fortyeight days, they located a home, on July 18, 1622, where the town of Bristol, Rhode Island, was afterward built.

The town was laid out and named in 1636 by Roger Williams. There is an old bible which has come down to the present generation in the line of William Carr, which is a rare old treasure. It was printed in London in 1585. On the first blank page of this ancient book, is written in a woman's hand the following valuable record: “My maiden name was Susan Rothchild. I was born in Devonshire, Eng., in the year of our Lord, A. D. 1598, April 30. I married William Carr, of London, May 16, 1619. He was born in 1597, June 17. Husband says he had a brother George Carr, who went to America in 1620. My husband has a brother Benjamin Carr, he was born Aug. 18, 1592. I am acquainted with him and his family. He has four sons, Robert Carr, born Oct. 4, 1614; Caleb Carr, born Dec. 9, 1616; Richard Carr, born Jan. 5, 1621; Andrew Carr, born Dec. 5, 1622. My son George Carr was born March 12, 1620. My husband had a brother James Carr. He ran away

to sea when a boy and we never heard from him.” I’ve always thought it would be very sad to leave England for America knowing you probably HISTORICAL wouldn’t see HIGHLIGHTS your home or family again. Laurie Moseley Susan wrote the following in her diary which is still preserved with the records of the family: “It was a summer day in 1621, as I stood upon our ship's deck beside my husband with my infant son closely folded to my breast, while our noble captain, Roger Williams, stood by our side. I took a last view forever of my native isle, and forever bid it adieu, and all the scenes of my childhood home. My

heart ached while bitter tears blinded my eyes. Never shall I forget the scenes of that day, as we took a last farewell of our friends with many promises that they would soon join us in America. “Then the order was given by our captain to cast off our moorings, and our ship stood out in the Thames. After all sails were spread we took our course down the river. Each spot along its banks was dear to my soul, and while I was sad, the passengers, there being thirty-five, were singing and making merry that they were going to America. I could not join them for my heart was very sad. “We had a pleasant sail down the Thames. Still I gazed upon my native isle with tearful eyes, and watched it when far out at sea, until the last receding mountain vanished from my view. Our voyage was very pleasant for twenty days out to sea, and then we encountered a storm which lasted all the afternoon and following night. The weather was pleasant the rest of

the way, and on the 6th day of November, 1621, the anchor was cast at dark some way out at sea for fear of unseen rocks. “Next morning the boats were lowered and we landed, but what was my surprise! Lucinda, George Carr's wife, had died early in the spring before. My husband and George his brother and myself went to view her resting place. There with tearful eyes I viewed the last resting place of poor Lucinda Devenport, whom I had known in England. She had died in a foreign land of privation and cold, and was buried side by side with many others who had shared the same fate. My heart sank within me to think that I should never see Lucinda again. I had anticipated many happy hours with her, but my youthful hopes were forever blasted.”

TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION BETTER NEWSPAPER CONTEST

AWARD WINNER 2014

OPINION

Thursday, July 3, 2014

Don’t be ‘koi’ when it comes to believing

think that’s a cool picture over there. There’s a story behind it. Now, not everyone likes that photo – and that’s another story. This picture is an accident. Several years ago at the Dallas Arboretum, the Bride stopped at the koi pond to fire off a couple of shots. Koi ponds offer the most generic of shots – colored fish slowly swimming about. Somehow, the camera settings got bumped and this is what came out. I find the picture hypnotic, full of movement and, if you keep focusing on it, a series of static reflections, too. When the Arboretum announced an art contest comprised of works taken in or inspired by the Dallas gardens, I thought there was no way this wouldn’t win. Plus it had a companion shot that was just as mysterious and mesmerizing. The problem was the Bride was out of town and the entry deadline was that day. I had to get to the Arboretum by White Rock Lake by 5 p.m. that day.

Photo card in hand, I raced to get the pictures enlarged to 20x20 inches. Framing and matting was next – something I was about as familiar with as transmission repair. A local expert needed more time to frame them and didn’t have the right size, anyway. So I went to Hobby Lobby, chose black frames with no matting (I had no idea how to cut those), and secure the photos. Padding them with blankets in the backseat of the pickup, I dashed to the Arboretum. To my surprise, the lady who was checking contest entries in didn’t do a back flip when I presented them. She logged me in and set the Bride’s astonishing work against a wall with what were clearly a much lesser batch of photographs. A few days later, as I expected, the phone rang. It was the Arboretum. Come pick up the photos, a lady said. They didn’t make the cut. I couldn’t believe it. How could they not see the greatness here?

Of course, that’s not the first time a judge has not recognized brilliance when it was right there before them. But, the framed wonders settled in on the walls of the grandkids’ “toy room” at home. Then came another chance for the world to acknowledge

ON YOUR MARK Mark K. Campbell what I already knew – that these picture were cool. A group from Hollywood (Hollywood!) was in town looking for art for the HGTV

show that shot north of town. Flipping through a batch of smaller 8x10s, a guy stopped on the Arboretum photos – and liked them. That set about another mad rush to get those appropriately framed and back to the man before filming resumed.

So, here’s the gist of it all: Mistakes can be awesome and just because someone says your work – or you – isn’t up to what they’re looking for doesn’t mean they’re right. The world is full of naysayers. I mean busting at the seams in this social media-intense time on the planet. Negative people sometimes have their own issues to deal with. Or they’ve suffered so much rejection that they want to infect everyone with their bummertude. It’s OK to make mistakes. Sometimes you get a really cool picture. Sometimes you don’t. But you learn something, if nothing else. You could wallpaper a town with all the encouraging/inspirational motivational posters plastered around. They may be generic and corny, but that doesn’t mean they’re wrong. Action is eloquence, Shakespeare said. So go for it! Even if you’re on the wrong setting... well, you never know what might develop. Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and this column was originally written for graduating high school seniors.

Medications Taken on an Empty Stomach

Some medications must be separated from meals because food can affect how they work. Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) work best when they are taken at least 30 minutes before meals. Examples of PPIs include esomeprazole (Nexium), lansoprazole (Prevacid), and rabeprazole (AcipHex Sprinkle). Sucralfate (Carafate) works to heal stomach ulcers. If it is taken with food, the medicine forms a coating around the food and not the ulcer.

Some medication labels say take “before meals” or “on an empty stomach.” This is because the body poorly absorbs some medications. These drugs are absorbed even less when they are taken with food. Other medications must be separated from food because they do not work if food is in the stomach. They should be taken an hour before meals or at least two hours after a meal. Bisphosphonates which include alendronate (Binosto, Fosamax), ibandronate (Boniva), and risedronate (Actonel, Atelvia) are poorly absorbed. They should be taken at least 30 minutes before any food or drink enters the stomach. Other poorly absorbed medications include levothyroxine (Levoxyl, Synthroid), methotrexate and cilostazol (Pletal). When taken on an empty stomach, more medication is absorbed and the medication has the potential for a greater effect.

Movie Man

Thursday, July 3, 2014

New Transformers will make your ears extinct This review is Movie Man No. 1,094, and he can declare that Transformers: Age of Extinction is the loudest movie he has ever seen. About the film No snotty cinema lover goes to a Transformers movie expecting Citizen Kane. But the common Joe and Jane do. The fact that the most hated director on the planet, Michael Bay, is behind the movies makes them even more kryptonite-y for those who consider film “art.” Oh, there’s art in the Transformers movies – this is No. 4 and the first of a second trilogy – and it’s all done on computers. All four of the pictures are incredible movie magic. The stories are horrible, but the process is astounding. That and the allure the movies/toys have for multiple generations are the reasons the Movie Man chose Age of Extinction No. 1 when predicting the biggest moneymaker of the summer. And the Movie Man looks mighty fine with that pick right now; Age of Extinction not only opened bigger than any movie so far this summer (which started in early May, you recall), but it set the 2014 international opening mark, too. In case you forgot, here’s the Movie Man’s Top 10 summer guesses: 10. A Million Ways to Die in the West (oops; dead in the water at a mere $41.7 million [way to go, America!]) 9. Guardians of the Galaxy (Aug. 1) 8. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Aug. 8) 7. Maleficent (MM #1090, 4; it’s already over $200 million, way too low on the Movie Man’s list since it’s headed to around $215 million or so) 6. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (July 11) 5. Godzilla (MM #1088, 7; $197 million, fading but might get to $200 million) 4. The Amazing Spider-Man

2 (MM #1086, 7; $200.1 million and about done) 3. How to Train Your Dragon 2 (MM #1093, 6; $122 million in week two, headed to about $150 million) 2. X-Men: Days of Future Past (MM #1089, 7; fading at $223 million, looking at $230 million) 1. Transformers: Age of Extinction The Movie Man has noted before that he’s not a Bay hata; he liked The Rock (1996, Movie Man No. 131, a 7) and thought Armageddon (1998, MM #241, 7) was good fun. He can’t say the same for the Transformers movies (which are among the biggest worldwide moneymakers in film history). However, until Age of Extinction, they haven’t been abysmal. The original Transformers (2007, MM #726, 6) was decent. But the sequel, Revenge of the Fallen (2009, MM #831, 5), is considered by fanboys one of the worst follow-ups in movie history. In 2011, Dark of the Moon (MM #937, 6) was another kinetic head-hurter that was a technical marvel and dumb as a rock with occasional laughs. However, Age of Extinction fails in every way (except the CG). The next Transformers question is: How will the upcoming two shape up? It’s no spoiler to reveal that Age of Extinction sets up not only a sequel but a third movie where likely the mysterious “Creators” will be revealed. Surely the next two Transformers won’t be worse. The plot (spoilers) (The Movie Man is going to say right off that the story in Age of Extinction is hilariously confusing.) Dinobots, not a comet or meteorite, caused the end of the dinosaurs. And, in modern day, a frozen Dinobot is found in the Arctic.

... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man Meanwhile, government man Attinger (Kelsey Grammer) is in cahoots with Joyce (Stanley Tucci) to eradicate ALL alien robots from the planet – including the mankind-loving Autobots who have now split up to avoid capture. Grammer’s head henchman Savoy (Titus Welliver) gets word that Texan Yeager (Mark Wahlberg) has found not only an Autobot but the leader of the robots, Optimus Prime. Soon Wahlberg, his daughter Tessa (Nicola Peltz), and (briefly) his workmate James (Gill Wembley) are on the run. Not only are the feds on their trail, but a space bounty hunter has come to earth with one purpose – to capture and return Optimus Prime to the “Creators.” Also: There’s this thing called “the seed” that is the basis of all things Transformer-y. Grammer gets it and gives it to Tucci who, with the seed, can build a robot army to protect America. And, robots fight. A lot. What works Some of the actors seem to know that they’re in a big goofy movie and deliver their horrible lines with straight faces. Grammer, Tucci, and Wahlberg go with the putrid dialogue and deliver it with gusto. Gotta admire that. Still, the only reason to see Age of Extinction is for the

computer generation which is nothing less than amazing. The robots are cool, and the fights, while terribly repetitive, are knockouts. The 3-D is fine. One scene with ash flecks floating about after a battle especially impressed the younger folks in the audience. (Which was most of the audience.) Best scene The bounty hunter will not be denied.

Azle grad joins Springtown vet practice By Natalie Gentry Veterinarian Brian Barone – a 1995 Azle High School graduate – has joined the Gieb Veterinary Clinic in Springtown. After earning his bachelor’s degree at Tarleton State University, Barone received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Texas A&M University in 2004. He and his wife, Shelly, then moved out to East Texas in order to split the distance between his hometown and hers in Louisiana. He hired on at a practice in Jacksonville and settled in to begin his career. Trial by fire, times three Barone was drawn to his first job during an interview with one of the partners. “I really liked one of the doctors there,” Barone said. However, he didn’t have to wait long for his first surprise. “When I told him I would take the job, he let me know that he had been diagnosed with lung cancer,” he said. Surprise number two wasn’t far behind either. “On my first day on the job – my first day out of school – they let me know that I was on my own,” Barone said. This wasn’t a situation he had expected to be in as a brand spankin’ new veterinarian. “Students have externships, labs, and experiences like that,” Barone said. “But it was almost like ‘hey, if you need help you can make a phone call.’” In essence he was working without a proverbial net, but the experience required him to

become decisive and independent. Then, three months later, surprise number three occurred when his favored boss died of lung cancer. “I stayed there for about a year and a half,” Barone said. “But I found that [the other partner’s] value system and mine were just too different.” Mixing it up After Barone’s first child, Caroline, was born he started relief work – filling in when area vets needed extra help or were on vacation. This work kept him busy for a couple of years and through it he found his next job in Lufkin. Barone planned to buy into that clinic, but the combination of trying to sell their house in Jacksonville during a recession and taking their second daughter on long trips to and from the doctor’s office prevented that. “Corynne was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at 20 months,” Barone said. For the Barones, family took priority over the ambition of becoming a partner in the practice. After working in Lufkin for four years Barone returned to relief work in Longview and took an additional job working at an emergency clinic. Clinics like this require long hours, and since they are only open during hours other clinics are closed the vets there typically work at night and on weekends. So, for the next year and a half Barone worked 140 hours per week. This crowded schedule didn’t

leave him much time with Shelly, their daughters, and son Corbin. Although he felt burnt out at times, it was during this year and a half that he realized how much he liked preforming surgeries. This work also gave him the opportunity to observe how different veterinarians dealt with cases. “While I was doing relief work I had the chance to work in a lot of different places,” Barone said. “I was able to see a huge variety of ways to do things, which is always good. “I saw a lot of ways that I don’t want to do things.” But he noted that even those times were learning experiences worth having. Coming home Although Barone stayed busy with his work, he began to feel a need to move closer to home. “Before I had even taken the job in Longview I had decided that I wanted to start working back this way,” he said. “I liked the town and the people in that area,” Barone continued. “I just like it better here – it’s home.” In addition to moving closer to his parents, Barone is happy to return to a general care clinic. “I like getting back to a regular clinic,” he said. “At the emergency clinic I didn’t get to follow up with the people or the patients.” “I like the fact that I will get to know the families here,” Barone continued. “This is just Azle High School graduate Dr. Brian Barone has joined the Gieb Veterinary Clinic in what I was looking for.” Springtown.

Native plant workshop planned The Cross Timbers chapter of the Native Plant Society of Texas has planned a hands-on session on how to propagate native and adopted plants from cuttings or seeds. The Thursday, July 10 meeting is set for the community building at Cherry Park beginning at 7 p.m. The manager of the Horticulture Center at Tarleton State University at Stephenville, Manon Shockey, will present the program. Visitors can bring their own cuttings and potting material; some will also be available. Those bringing their own cuttings should sever them as late as possible before heading to Weatherford’s Cherry Park and keep the plant ends moist. All new growth cuts should be at least 4 to 6 inches long with at least two nodes on each. Shockey said a basic potting mix or sand, pots and coffee filters to cover drainage holes, and a pair of pruners or nippers is all that is needed.

Staying safe in severe weather Severe weather can bring violence – damaging winds, deadly lightning, heavy rains, and hail – and knowing how to react when outside can be crucial. When powerful storms approach, bring outdoor items in: Patio furniture and other outdoor equipment can become dangerous projectiles if loose. Anticipate power outages: Fill plastic containers with water and freeze them to keep refrigerator and freezer food cold should the electricity fail. Back up computer files and operating systems. Keep flashlights and a battery-powered radio on hand: Don’t use candles because they are a fire hazard. If caught outdoors avoid natural lightning rods: Tall, isolated trees are dangerous as are hilltops and metal objects like wire fences, golf clubs, and metal tools. If hail falls, close your win-

dow coverings: Drapes, blinds, and window shades can help prevent potential injury from broken glass being blown inside the house. Avoid skylights, windows, and doors. Be sure the storm has passed before going outside: Avoid broken and downed tree branches and power lines. Check trees, shrubs, and plants for stripped foliage: If you find them beaten up, then your roof is also likely damaged. Other indicators include dented patio covers, screens, and aluminum roof vents. Cover broken windows and holes in roofs: Otherwise, water can intrude into the structure. Avoid high water: Just two feet of water can sweep away most automobiles. More deaths occur because of flooding than from any other thunderstorm-/ hurricane-related hazard – often when motorists are swept away. If your vehicle stalls, leave it immediately and seek higher ground.
