飓风 "菲奥娜 "告诉我们危险天气可能就在身边--使用这 8 种产品做好准备

现在是为飓风季节高峰期做好准备的时候了

我们已经度过了飓风季节的中点,与往年相比,今年的风暴活动很少。然而,"菲奥娜 "的目标是波多黎各和多米尼加共和国,这非常真实地提醒我们,现在刚刚进入飓风季节的高峰期。据美国国家海洋和大气管理局(NOAA)预测,未来几个月内将有多场大飓风形成。如果您还没有开始准备,现在正是时候。

为什么今年的飓风季节起步较慢?

飓风的形成需要三个基本要素:温暖的海水(至少 80 度)、充足的潮湿空气和汇聚的风。本季,撒哈拉沙漠的沙尘和向西横穿大西洋的干燥空气阻碍了大多数风暴的形成。

尽管开局缓慢,但美国国家海洋和大气管理局(NOAA)和联邦紧急事务管理局(FEMA)都告诫人们不要掉以轻心,放松警惕。我们目前正处于飓风季节的高峰期,因此在 11 月底之前,我们仍有可能--根据 NOAA 的数据,也很有可能--遭遇三到五次大飓风。

现在是准备的时候了

关于飓风的好消息是,它们并不是突发事件。有了地球静止业务环境卫星,您可以提前三到五天知道自己是否处于风暴来袭的路径上。但这并不意味着您应该等到最后一刻才储备物资。由于需求量大,灯笼和急救包等必需品有可能会销售一空或发货时间过长,因此您应该在热带风暴出现在预报中之前就做好准备。

艾伦-福斯特

Allen Foster started writing for BestReviews in 2018. After covering the entertainment world for over 25 years, he decided it was time for a change. Drawing upon his work experience in the construction field as well as the knowledge and training he received while selling tools, equipment, and home decor at one of the country's largest home improvement retailers, Allen decided it was time to give back. He wanted to share his extensive knowledge of how things worked in a simple and straightforward way that would benefit consumers. When he is not learning about new products, upgrading his home, or working on an assignment, Allen enjoys teaching music and writing fiction.

Expertise and Experience

Allen has no formal training as a writer. His college education included an Associate of Fine Arts from a local community college and an individual study program at the Philadelphia College of the Performing Arts. His focus was on music theory, composition, and arranging. When he sold his first article to Keyboard Magazine, he realized the importance of the phrase "write what you know."

Over the past 30-plus years, Allen has honed his skills while continuing to write about the things he knows. He has written several thousand articles that have appeared in newspapers, magazines, and online media outlets. He has interviewed celebrities, experts, and media icons, such as Brian Wilson and Dan Rather.

亮点

  • Spent summers working with his older brother in construction to learn about building a home from the ground up, making upgrades, and completing home repairs.
  • Received training to become an expert in selling tools at one of the country's largest home improvement retailers.
  • Is a knowledgeable DIYer who performs most of his own home repairs.

Achievements

Early in his writing career, Allen edited and published a print magazine called Songwriter's Monthly that was distributed around the world. Throughout his career, he has been lucky enough to speak with over a thousand individuals who are considered experts or are highly regarded in their field.
