40 Creative And Effective Ways People Prepared For Extreme Weather

It's not dumb if it works. Sometimes people have to use what's around them in to create makeshift safety precautions for their property when dealing with extreme weather. oftentimes, there is very little prior warning so folks are forced to resort to using whats available on hand when making their preparations. Saving money on property damage from serious storms is certainly no joke, but sometimes the contraptions people come up with on the spot can be quite amusing. But while the outcome may look hilariously ridiculous, if it works then who has the last laugh?

#4 Hail Protection For Starlink Disk

Image source: XRS-2200 Yesterday the weather forecast predicted hail, so I wanted to protect the dish in the event of hail. I used a piece of foam and the dish installation bag I got with my post-installation kit. I just covered it and left it in place for the night. It did slow down performance, but I was able to remove it easily the next day, without issue. Cheap and effective.
