Storm Season? Let Mike Smith Enterprises Help.

By -

Today is the first day of hurricane season, tornado season continues, and a major drought continues to threaten water and power supplies in the West. If you enjoy this blog, Mike Smith Enterprises has a variety of ways we serve people who have business interests involving weather. 


Photography
You can see my photos at Adobe Stock Photography, here. Whether advertising or editorial, we have photos that will suit your needs. 

For my illustrative editorial photos (such as the state of the 2022 wheat crop), go here.


Books
Warnings tells the story of how meteorologists like Dr. Ted Fujita and other brilliant, courageous scientists eliminated downburst airliner crashes, cut the tornado death rate by 95%, and other amazing accomplishments. It is an uplifting story that reads like a novel.

From a new review at Amazon: The book is easily readable and very informative. It is a keeper for my library. Great job.

"An Important Read..." -- Washington Post
When the Sirens Were Silent is the true story of the Joplin Tornado -- one of the worst in history. It also includes vital safety information for you and your family. Tornado Season 2022 is just underway as we saw last week. More tornadoes are quite likely this week. Please take the tornado safety advice to heart.

Live Presentations
Every presentation is different -- uniquely tailored to the audience. Great graphics.  Never "death by powerpoint." We do keynote presentations on how weather and climate affect people, society and business. Contact Mindy East for more information. 

Business Consulting
The knowledge he shared was a crash course in entrepreneurship. Mike asked the hard questions, set realistic expectations, and gave me insights I couldn't have found elsewhere. It has translated to measurable growth.

I'd recommend businesses of any size to talk to Mike about how to grow smart, right now.

The brown area has a significant risk of tornadoes. Remember: if a tornado warning is issued, go to your basement and get under heavy furniture like a pool table. Of, if your basement is finished, get into the bathroom. Go ahead an put a couple of water bottles and, if appropriate, diapers in your shelter area. Wear shoes.  If you don't have a basement or safe room, go to the lowest floor and get into a bath or closet in the middle of your home. Children should be put in the bathtub.  I'll update later today.

It may be a bit too large but, when it comes to freezing rain and slick roads, caution is usually the better course of action.  Here's a color code: Deep purple is an ice storm warning; serious condition where power outages are possible. Pink is a winter storm warning for significant icing. Deep green is a winter storm watch. I don't know why this is still a watch. If I were on the forecast desk I would have a winter storm warning for icing.  Dark blue is a winter weather advisory, a lesser condition, for icing.  Here is a view of the entire watch/warning/advisory area. The small area of green in Illinois is for flooding and, in Nebraska, for snow.  Here is a forecast of freezing rain amounts; totals to 6am Tuesday.  Color codes: Yellow is 0.25 to 0.50 inches. Power outages may occur in this areas. Deep blue i...
