Remain Calm and Warm

This winter has been harsh, and as we have seen we obviously need to prepare for the unexpected. Even Mexico, which is near the equator, has proven to be quite dangerous.

By the end of last year and the start of the New Year, the fluctuations in the Mexican weather have taken its toll, with over forty-five victims total. After listening to accounts of tornado warnings and real formations of tornados, we have to consider the amount of temperature fluctuation. As we have witnessed, the temperature has been unusually warm the first week of January. The cold air arriving from Canada has proved to be lethal. This in turn may cause a chain reaction in the weather patterns and the possibility of the production of hurricanes and tornados. As for Mexico, the cooling point (especially in the northern states, such as Chihuahuas) registered an all time low temperature, which has claimed 20 lives within the past year. The weather continues to lower daily, and we continue to hear of the most horrific stories of people perishing and suffering. In Mexico the more rural areas have no type of heating system that will allow the residents to warm their houses or apartments. In addition, the residents are not prepared for these situations due to the fact that the climate is usually warm and not even brisk. These complications will be noted in the following years. These phenomena are not a stranger to Mexico, as these things have occurred before. Remember, you can stay warm and alive. Everyone should learn a lesson from this deadly report of the situation in Mexico, as well as see how unusually frigid temperatures affect an area.
