LAUDERDALE COUNTY, Ala. (WAFF) - WAFF is keeping an eye on next week’s winter weather threat, which comes with a chance for power outages.
Ice, wind, fallen trees all of these things could cause power outages.
Lauderdale County EMA Director, George Grabryan, said during these potential icy events you should be prepared to lose power.
“You need to start preparation before it even hits. You need to make sure where you live that you have sufficient groceries that you don’t have to cook and of course a manual can opener is always good. You need to have a plan if you were to lose power or lose heat,” said Grabryan.
