The US National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington has issued a Wind Advisory today! Winds gusting up to 50 mph are possible! Winds, along with saturated ground, may cause trees, tree limbs, and power lines to fall. Scattered power outages are possible.

#FCFRD reminds residents that downed power lines can be extremely dangerous! It is especially important to understand that downed lines can energize other objects, including fences, cars/trucks, buildings, bushes and trees, and telephone/cable TV cables. Assume all downed power lines are live and dangerous!

Great information from our friends at the Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI):
