If storms have already moved through, or yet to move through, remember what to do after the storms move through and power is out.

Please give grace and patience to those working on power lines and first responders. They have A LOT to do, and they may be battling various issues, like trees on lines that sparked a fire, trees over roadways, etc. Listen to first responders and emergency management and follow what they say.

If you don't have cell service, but want to let everyone know you're okay, record a voicemail message. That way, they'll still hear an update from you.

If there are powerlines down on the road, don't drive over the lines!

If you try to run a generator, make sure it is outside (not in the garage), with proper ventilation. Be cautious of how long food is in the fridge. Know how long your power is out so you know if the food goes bad.

If you have reports of trees down or damage, let us know! We may or may not know of specific areas, so your info helps us a lot!

There are multiple trees down throughout Randolph County. Please drive with caution.
