Realism was added to a disaster rehearsal at the Brewster Aeronautical Corp. in Long Island City, when the "injured" were given first aid, February 28, 1943. Leah Oginsky, one of the supposed victims, after being treated for injuries and shock, is taken to a Red Cross desk hurriedly set up after the "all clear" signal had been given.

The "leaked" story about Harry's trip to Norway

The “leaked” story about Harry’s trip to Norway

It took me a minute, but I finally put two and two together. From the beginning, I felt the leaked story to the tabloids came from Sparkles and MM PR team, but I couldn’t clearly see it. So I did some digging. And found out that those are yearly exercises that take place and that Harry went last year. We didn’t hear about it because it’s confidential. Instead, we got stories from Sunshine Sachs…

GRYFFINDOR: “How to become a storm: Love yourself so much that you laugh with pity in the face of anyone who tries to throw cruelty and negativity in your face. How to start a wildfire: Encourage other women with the hearts of lionesses like yours to do the same.” -Nikita Gill (Disaster Training)

Everyone should take a Disaster Class!

Or rather, in the kitchen.  What a mess it was, a fire on my stove when some grease popped out onto the burner I was using.  My alarm was screaming at me in no uncertain terms at first as I tried to beat the fire out with my skillet, knowing even as I did that it wouldn’t work.  I grabbed the box of baking soda before it got to the ceiling and threw some on the flames, realizing that the alarm had been shut off as I was pulling out the baking soda, well before the fire was out.  Usually we receive a phone call if our alarm goes off but that day there was no phone call, no fire department coming to see if it was safely out, absolutely nothing but a relieved me thankful for all the disaster training I once had — the training that told me to throw baking soda on the flames.  It couldn’t have taken more than a second for the smoke to turn into flames but it seemed as if it went on for hours.

Cleanup took a few days.  It’s amazing how many places the soda flew into that day.  I’m still finding some today and it happened a week ago.  I’m also still shaking from the experience.  I’ve become more aware of things around me after two possible life threatening events.  The four hours on the floor waiting for someone to come along and hear me when I called for help, the fire in the kitchen, realizing I was setting off some alarms at the grocery last week!  Fortunately it seems to have a different sound from the one that catches shop lifted items from going out the door and no one came over with handcuffs to see what I was trying to leave without paying for.  I backed up when I heard it though and was pulling my receipt from my purse when I saw them wave me on out,

Well, that’s how I occupied my time with this past week.  I sure hope you had a better week than mine.  So back to the sewing machine and doll clothes!  I once thought safety depended on staying away from dangerous situations but now realize it can get downright scary just scrambling eggs sometime,

  Fire In The Hole! Or rather, in the kitchen.  What a mess it was, a fire on my stove when some grease popped out onto the burner I was using.

‘Thunder over the Sound’ disaster training

‘Thunder over the Sound’ disaster training

It was a bloody scene over in Biloxi this morning, but no need to worry. It was all for a good reason.

Over 150 volunteers covered themselves in fake blood and wounds in an attempt to simulate victims of a plane crash.

This hectic scene was put together in preparation for the May 4th and May 5th airshow so that Biloxi first responders and Keesler first responders could practice working together…
