Possible Damage from the Storm

NWS announces that the storm may cause many.

• Tree limbs breaking and falling – This can be a big threat to homes, cars, and roads. Do not park near trees. Stay away from areas with big branches.
• Outdoor household items being blown – Items such as patio furniture, trash cans, and decorations can all turn into deadly missiles under strong winds. Either tie them down or take them inside before the storm.
• Possible power failure – Widespread outages aren’t being reported at least until 10:50 PM, however, power lines and trees may fail, resulting in localized blackouts. Have candles and power backup ready.

Wind gusts of 50 miles an hour would threaten light structures with certain acts of damage, blow windows open, and make even traveling dangerously difficult. People should avoid all non-essential travel and remain indoors until conditions improve.

Safety Measures to Follow

To minimize risks and stay safe, follow these essential safety measures:

• Limit the use of electrical appliances – Reduces the risk of electrical surges and fire hazards.
• Stay away from trees or open fields – Falling branches and debris pose serious dangers in stormy conditions.
• Move vehicles to a secure location – Parking near trees or unstable structures increases the risk of damage.
• Prepare emergency supplies – Keep flashlights, batteries, drinking water, a first-aid kit, and non-perishable food ready in case of power outages.

Stay away from fallen power lines – Downed power lines can be extremely dangerous. Always assume they are live and report them immediately.

Avoid damaged buildings and debris – Structural damage may not be immediately visible, so be cautious when entering affected buildings.

Report power outages or damage – If you experience a power outage, contact your local electricity provider. If you see storm-related damage, inform the local authorities to ensure prompt assistance.
