[More surprising than the fact that the Florida Panhandle is getting freezing cold weather is that this article actually has to remind people to NOT use charcoal grills INDOORS!! And yes, obviously, if you've been visiting this blog for a while you know my stand on getting a carbon monoxide detector. But for those of you who are new, let me sum it up for you...GET ONE! It just may save your life and/or the lives of people you care about. Click the top link to the left for Tranducer Technology, Inc. They make a really good one!]
Officials with Santa Rosa County Emergency Management are urging residents to prepare for a hard freeze which is likely to occur Thursday night and Friday morning in the Florida Panhandle. Cold weather safety actions:
-- Stay indoors and use safe heating sources.
-- Keep space heaters and candles away from all flammable materials, such as curtains and furniture, and install smoke detectors.
-- Do not use charcoal or other fuel-burning devices, such as grills that produce carbon monoxide, indoors. Install a carbon monoxide detector.
-- Say dry and in wind protected areas when outdoors.
-- Wear multiple layers of loose-fitting clothes.
-- Drink plenty of liquids and eat high-calorie foods.
