Scout your outdoors
Take 10-15 minute to take a good look around your house and yard. Storms don’t only bring a lot of rain but can often have dangerous wind that can bring down branches and even trees.
Look around for any branches that are overhanging your carport or are close to the house, by cutting back these before a storm rolls in, you could save yourself a massive headache.
