UPDATE FROM TIM MARSHALL ON OUTAGES
From Steuben Co Emergency Services: Steuben County continues to clean up from yesterday’s severe thunderstorms. As of this morning over 9,500 electric customers in Steuben County are still without power. Utility crews along with State, County and Local highway crews are working to clear roadways and reestablish power. Tim Marshall, Director of Public Safety, recommended that residents use caution while traveling today as there are still many downed power lines and damaged trees. “Safety is our utmost priority; we urge residents to stay clear of down lines. Use caution around damaged trees and while operating portable generators,” Marshall said. Carbon Monoxide is a killer, always use a generator in a well-ventilated area. Always shut the generator off and use caution while refueling.
Today will be another hot and humid day with the possibility of severe thunderstorms in the afternoon. Again, with the severe tree damage any storms that develop this afternoon may bring more damage. Cooling centers are available at local Libraries or utilize a local restaurant or grocery store.
Your refrigerator will keep food safe for up to 4 hours during a power outage. Keep the door closed as much as possible. Discard refrigerated perishable food such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and leftovers after 4 hours without power. After a power outage, never taste food to determine its safety. You will have to evaluate each item separately. When in Doubt, Throw it Out!
