Illinois is notorious for unpredictable weather and I think Memorial
Day topped all of the weather conditions so far for 2013. Our campus, and
mainly our center, experienced power outage and major damage to some of the
beautiful nature surrounding our campus. We were fortunate enough to have been
closed at the time of the storm, but the loss of trees and power resulted in a
closing and a lot of cleanup. Check out some of the pictures of the destruction
from the storm:
Have you created a
plan of action for situations like this one and other storms that could cross
our path? Do you have a basement or safe place to go to in case of a tornado?
Our children participated in their annual tornado drill just this morning and
this afternoon we received word that there is a tornado watch until 8pm. In the event that the watch turns into a
warning, know that your children are in good hands and know exactly what to do
if this ever happens. If we need to evacuate, our plan of action is to head
immediately to the PAC tunnel, the safest place on campus.
Here are a few
measures you could take with your family if a tornado warning occurred while
you were at home:
