Our Red Cross personal disaster assistance volunteers recently responded to a house fire in Waterloo caused by a strike of lightning. When there is a personal disaster such as this, Red Cross volunteers will help set the family up in a hotel room and make sure they have the basic necessities that they immediately need; blankets, food and personal hygiene products.

On that note, our tip of the day: when the thunder roars, head indoors.
