The National Weather Service in Blacksburg has issued a Wind Advisory... which is in effect from noon today to 6 am EST Thursday.

	Public Information Statement
Statement as of 7:00 am EST on November 11, 2009 ..assembling an emergency car kit... November 8th through the 14th is winter weather awareness week in West Virginia. Be ready for Winters worst. If you were stranded in your vehicle... what would you do? To prepare... keep emergency supplies in your trunk. Here is what to include: A battery powered radio in case your car radio fails. A flashlight with extra batteries. A first aid kit and manual. Pack a blanket and extra clothes. Include a set of booster cables. These are used to start a car that has a dead battery. A shovel and a box of sand could make the difference if you are caught in snow. Snack foods and bottled drinking water. And finally... a bright Orange cloth to hang on your antenna and some safety flares. These will tell others you need help. Put together your winter car kit today... just in case.
