Spring is here, which means spring storms, severe weather, and power outages. A power outage is never convenient, and can sometimes even be life-threatening. That’s why many Arkansans choose to stay prepared by investing in an emergency generator.

Winter has almost run its course, but lifelong Arkansans know quite well that Mother Nature’s wrath knows no season. Winter brings bitter cold temperature and the occasional ice storm, which can wreak havoc. Springtime brings the threat of heavy rains, high winds, hail, and tornadoes that often result in heavy, localized damage. High summer temperatures bring the constant threat of power outages as air conditioning units run full blast trying to cope, and with fall comes the secondary severe weather season, that is no less treacherous.

We’ve sprung forward, and the daffodils are in bloom: it must be springtime! After the punishingly cold winter that we just had, Arkansans are all breathing a sigh of relief as the days start to get longer, and the sun sits high in the sky.

We’ve got another Arkansas Winter bearing down on us, and power outages are inevitable when temperatures drop, especially when we get a significant snow or ice event.

There are many places in the world that are well known for their extreme weather during certain times of year. Whether you’re dealing with Nor’ easters in New England, Monsoons in Mumbai, or Tsunamis in Tokyo, there are always certain times of year when the locals watch the weather forecast with nervousness, and wonder if they’re going to be lucky enough to once again escape Mother Nature’s wrath.
