As the storm moves through our service area, it’s causing significant damage and widespread outages. We are receiving reports of downed trees and power lines. Once conditions are safe, our crews will begin assessing the damage and working to restore power as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience, as some repairs may take time depending on the extent of the damage.
For your safety, if you’re out inspecting damage or removing tree limbs, please stay clear of any downed power lines. Remember: always treat them as live, and stay away from them. #wims #nwi #localradio
