Summer, a time for outdoor activities! Don’t forget about the potential for severe weather, which can lead to power outages. If you’re outdoors when the weather takes a turn, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reminds us, “see a flash, dash inside,” and “when thunder roars, go indoors.”

Once it’s safe, remember to report any outages or downed lines to us via SmartHub or by calling 573-769-2104.
