Hurricane Florence
Advance Information
8AM – September 12
The possible heavy rain and strong winds may result in power outages. Strong winds would be the major contributor to outages. Heavy rain and flooding may limit our access to damaged areas.
What to expect…
- If we lose a major circuit(s), our top priority will be to return it/them to service, as that restoration will bring more customers on line sooner.
- The same prioritization will occur for progressively smaller circuits.
- Individual house / building connections will occur after the larger circuits are restored.
Other things…
- Restoration may be delayed if it is too dangerous for our workers to be out during the storm.
- Make sure you take the necessary steps to prepare for the storm and the possibility of extended power outages.
