Hurricane Preparedness Drawing Contest
Go Away Storm! By Shane Berry, age 8.
“Before a storm my family prepares our house, boat and vehicles. In my picture you will see my boat turned upside down with straps that are bolted into the ground. We secure our house with shutters and sand bags. We also pick fruits from our trees and share them with our neighbors.”
