@nealkshah A "super" El Niño is brewing, and forecasters say it may be the strongest since 1950, so now is the time to prepare your family. NOAA gives it better than a 90% chance of holding through winter, with a real shot at record strength. For the US, that tilts the odds toward a wetter, stormier winter across the South, warmer and drier conditions up North, and a higher risk of coastal flooding, though local effects are never guaranteed. Here is how to protect the people you love, especially older relatives. First, prepare for power outages and storms with an emergency kit: water, medications, flashlights, and backup phone chargers. Second, guard against cold and heating costs by sealing drafts and checking on elderly neighbors, since seniors are most vulnerable to temperature swings. Third, watch for ice and flooding, both major fall and driving hazards, and clear walkways early. Finally, keep an eye on local forecasts and any evacuation guidance in flood-prone areas. A little planning now prevents a crisis later. Follow for more weather and safety updates, and share this with a family member who should start preparing. #ElNino #WeatherSafety #EmergencyPrep
