When it comes to storms and other natural disasters, believing in myths and misconceptions can be as fatal as the calamities themselves. Unfortunately, there are still myths surrounding storm damage that might put unsuspecting homeowners in harm’s way.
Myth #1: Opening Doors and Windows Stabilizes Air Pressure and Prevents Damage.
The truth is that opening your doors and windows during a storm does nothing for air pressure stabilization. In fact, doing so will only leave your home more susceptible to damage according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Myth #2: Storms Only Happen During the Peak Season.
Off-peak storms can happen any time of year. This means that it’s never too late or too early to start preparing yourself, your family and your home for inclement weather.
Myth #3: You Can Ride Out a Storm.
Under no circumstance should you remain at home after an evacuation has been ordered. This puts your life and your family’s lives at risk. Remember that furniture can be replaced. It’s simply not worth staying behind and risking your safety for things that can easily be bought. Make it a habit to listen to weather forecasts to be updated regarding evacuation plans and orders.
