To all the dads out there searching for how to fix the sink, perfect the grill, and keep the lawn looking just right — you somehow make it all work. Backyard boss, handyman, and grill master all in one. Today is your day — enjoy it!

Last week’s tornadoes across Indiana were a powerful reminder of how quickly severe weather can change our day. My thoughts are with everyone who was affected.

It’s a good time to ask yourself: If another tornado warning was issued today, would you and your family be ready? Here are few simple ways to prepare:

🌪️ Know where your safe shelter is—an interior room on the lowest level of your home is best.
🌪️ Keep an emergency kit stocked with water, flashlights, batteries, medications, and important documents.
🌪️ Make sure everyone in your household knows the tornado safety plan.
🌪️ Have multiple ways to receive weather alerts, especially overnight.
🌪️ Review your insurance coverage and keep an updated home inventory.

A little preparation today can make a big difference tomorrow. Are you tornado-ready? Let me know in the comments.
