Mississippi weather is always unpredictable so the best way to be prepared is to stay prepared.  Jason beings the show with some tips for your emergency preparedness kit as severe weather starts to threaten the area.  Also, Pam and Jeff share how they approach storms at their home and answer a listener's question about fallen tree removal and insurance. Throughout the show, the crew also answers questions about insulation, roof shingle placement, and how bad (or not) asbestos is to a home.  Let's work!
