Preventing Drownings This Summer South Florida Has More Annual Deaths From Water Related Mishaps Than Anyone! By Larry Blustein sfsuntimes@aol.com Connie Nieves remembers it like it happened yesterday. As she ran into the house quickly to get some drinks for her children, who were playing and swimming in their backyard pool, her older (10) daughter was watching her 4-year-old son. Those two minutes - as quick as they would appear - changed her life forever. The time that it took her to “run” into the house to get the drinks and some paper towels was long enough for her 10-year-old to get distracted and her 4year-old to fall into the water. As Nieves walked out the sliding glass doors’ of her Hollywood Hills home, she saw water splashing. It was
her son struggling to stay afloat in the water. “We had been in the house for three months and it was really the first few days we even used the pool and it was a wakeup call that many parents never get,” Nieves recalled, wiping the tears from her face. “He had just gone under when I came out, but by the time I processed everything and jumped in, he had swallowed a lot of water. With very little knowledge of CPR, I just reacted. The reaction was impressive enough for her son to start spitting up water after she began a CPR that she admitted that was only from watching TV. It turned out to be very lucky as the paramedics

Hurricane Season Has Arrived - As We Get Prepared
1st Priority Restoration Knows All About Flooding & Mildew Problems That Exist
The one thing we found out this past week about South Florida weather is that nothing is surprising anymore. A week before the official start of the hurricane season, the first storm of the year was formed in the western Caribbean and into the Gulf of Mexico. You can call Alberto sub-tropical or whatever you want, but that storm, which was the first
named one of the new year, brought rain and winds - and along the way - caused flooding. Plenty of it, with its 8 inches of rain. That heavy rain, which added to the start of the summer weather pattern made us all feel great about having a company like 1st Priority Restoration. Realizing that we live in an area that does experience heavy rain and
flooding, this is an area business that is all about giving the customer that "peace of mind.” Alberto woke everyone up - and instead of thinking about preparing for the season ahead residents throughout South Florida and across the state began to really get ready for what has been predicted as an “active season”
