The National Weather Service has issued a Wind Advisory from Harlem to Hollis in effect from Tuesday, October 24 at 8:00 AM until Wednesday, October 25th, 2017, at 2:00 AM. The advisory has been issued for sustained winds of 20 to 30 mph and gusts in excess of 50 mph. During periods of high winds, residents should use caution when walking or driving high profile vehicles. Winds at these speeds can cause flying debris, turn unsecured objects into projectiles, and cause power outages. To prepare, charge cell phone batteries, gather supplies, and turn refrigerators and freezers to a colder setting. Always stay clear of downed power lines. If you are affected by an outage, turn off all appliances and keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed to prevent food spoilage. Do not use generators indoors. If you lose power and have a disability or access needs, or use Life Sustaining Equipment (LSE) and need immediate assistance, please dial 9-1-1.
