As we head into the evening hours, know our crews are working 24/7 to restore power. Remember: Downed wires should always be considered “live;” stay at least 30 feet away. And if using a generator, operate it only outdoors, never in enclosed space and keep it away from windows. pic.twitter.com/9Zzv6ZEUbX
