Description
FirstEnergy is currently preparing to respond to another spring weather event. The system is expected to bring wind gusts of 40 to 50 miles per hour – and potentially higher in some areas – starting on Friday and extending into Saturday evening, with an additional risk of scattered thunderstorms on Saturday. The high winds could slow restoration efforts, as crews cannot safely operate bucket trucks when wind speeds exceed 40 miles per hour.
As always, please report downed lines and road closures by calling 911. Customers should assume all downed or low-hanging power lines are energized and dangerous. Stay at least 30 feet away and use extra caution where downed lines are tangled in trees or other debris.
Customers who experience a service interruption should report their outage to the contact center by calling, texting, or online.
Call: 1-888-LIGHTSS (1-888-544-4877)
Text: OUT to LIGHTS (544487)
