We are expecting a strong east wind event that has potential to rival the wind storm of Dec 1, 2011.
As it gets closer we will have a better idea about
the impact and timing, but I wanted to get this preliminary information
out to you ASAP so you can be ready. Here is the latest info:

Here are some general recommendations to prepare for the wind:
- Make sure all loose items such as patio furniture, garbage cans, barbecue grills, sports equipment and trampolines are secured. Please help any neighbors that might need assistance with this or it might be your house damaged by flying objects.
- Check your emergency equipment and 72 hour kits in case it is necessary.
- Check to make sure you have flashlights or other emergency lighting available in case the power goes out.
- Make sure your communication equipment is charged.
- Goggles (safety or ski goggles) make working in strong winds safer and more comfortable
