Jeffs713's Tomball & Tropical Weather

Posted by: jeffs713, 12:38 PM GMT op 23 augustus 2012

Hello everyone!

As some of you may know, I am currently a nursing student, and I've been here a while. With a storm now looking to be a major threat, I noticed there isn't much solid info (and a lot of terrible info) about injuries during and after a hurricane - and how to treat them.

So... I'd like to gather some info on what kind of injuries are usually seen during and after a hurricane, that are treatable with first aid. My concept is to gather this info, and make a post in the next day or so with information on how people can treat common hurricane-related injuries. I think this will be of more help to everyone, rather than another post detailing what I think Issac will be doing.

With that said... If you've been in a hurricane, or responded to one either as a first responder or via Portlight... what have you seen in terms of hurricane-related injuries that do not require immediate professional attention?

Last year was my first year for a full-fledged garden at my house, and even with the drought, I received some decent crops. Last year, I planted -Strawberries (they started out well, but ended up getting roasted)Onions (decent production, but rather small... but according to my wife, they tasted great)Sweet Banana Peppers (did OK, were rather leggy, though)Creole Tomatoes (did VERY well, lots of production, and tasted incredible)Cucumbers (terrible production, did...

Posted by: jeffs713, 5:55 PM GMT op 24 november 2010

Global Warming (GW) - It’s a common buzzword of many scientists, economists, political pundits, weather fanatics, and leaders of industry. Get 10 people in a room, ask them to talk about global warming, and you will get 200 opinions. So what theory is right? What theory is wrong? Why does everyone get so bent out of shape?Everyone gets bent out of shape because they want to be right. They want to show everyone that they are right. The stakes are HUGE, and th...

Changing names

Posted by: jeffs713, 1:24 AM GMT op 31 juli 2010

So... with recent events on the blogosphere, I've decided that it would be a good time for me to change my handle here on WU. My membership expires in 5 days (I plan on renewing), and after seeing some posts by other members with very similar names, I don't want to be associated with them in any way. With that said... any suggestions for new names? I posted this on Dr. M's blog, but it got lost in all the posts on there. I did see one suggestion about picking ...
