The fall season brings with it all the wonderful weather and beautiful fall colors. However, the threat of a secondary peak in severe weather is also present during this season. Needless to say, dried leaves aren’t the only things you about which you should be concerned.
Fog
According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), there’s an annual average of 28,500 vehicle crashes in the United States due to fog. Zero visibility also leaves airlines with no choice but to delay or even cancel flights since fog events tend to increase and intensify during the fall season.
Early Frost
Unexpected frost can hamper the growth of plants, especially in the rural areas. This is because, unlike in cities, rural areas hardly have any pavements that give off warmth and ward off the early frost.
Tornadoes
Some homeowners believe that doors and windows should be opened during a tornado to stabilize air pressure around the home. However, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) advises against this harmful practice. There’s only a small number of tornadoes that are expected to hit the country this late in the year, but it’s still crucial to remain vigilant and to not believe in dangerous myths like the aforementioned.
Snowstorms
Be prepared for wet and heavy snowstorms that can cut off power and cause tree branches to snap. As a precautionary measure, you should stay far away from trees that have accumulated heavy snow to avoid accidents.
