Power outages and storm damage continue across the area. Keep these safety tips in mind:

• Use candles with caution. Keep them away from anything that can burn and never leave them unattended. Battery powered lights are a safer option.

• Avoid unnecessary travel. Downed trees, power lines, and debris may still be blocking roadways.

• Check on neighbors, family members, and those with special needs, especially anyone who relies on electricity for medical equipment.

• Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible to help preserve food during power outages.

Stay safe and allow crews the space they need to restore services and clear roadways.

Street lights on West Liberty Avenue are out from McFarland to Wenzell Avenues. Drivers are encouraged to drive with caution.

REMEMBER: Intersections where lights are out should be treated as as four-way stops with all drivers taking turns moving through the intersections.

Allegheny County is under a wind advisory until midnight. Over 96,000 people are currently without power.
