Morning, besties. We've got a lot of folks without power this morning. Crews are out working on clearing downed trees and repairing downed powerlines. Stay far away from downed powerline, always assume they are live & call 911 Be patient & give crews room to work Delay travels
A graphic that reads, Downed Powerlines. Stay far away from downed Power lines and call 911. Always assume a power line is live. Do not touch anything or anyone in contact with a fallen power line or other equipment. If a downed power line touches your card, stay inside. Honk your horn, roll down your wind and call for help or call 911. Wait for fire department or utility workers to tell you it's safe to exit. If you must leave due to fire risk: remove loose clothing, jump clear of the vehicle so you're not touching the vehicle when you land; shuffle away without picking up your feet.
