Olivia, which is expected to weaken to a tropical storm still has potential to cause major damage. Forecasts show that the islands will experience wind and heavy rain as early as tomorrow.
~ Ron Cox, senior vice president of operations
“There will be outages if the islands are hit by powerful winds, torrential
rain, and flooding. Once the storm has passed and it is safe for our crews to begin restoration,
we will work as quickly and safely as possible to restore power.”
As the storm approaches, customers should review family and business emergency plans, ensure they have supplies they need on hand and keep close watch on the development of the storm system.
