Storm Warning TONIGHT! Be prepared.

Here's how . . .
We have a risk of thunderstorms tonight and a 15-29% chance of hail. Take some time to review your emergency food/water/supply stores, power up your phones, laptops, lanterns, etc. and make sure your generators, Jackery/battery back ups are ready to use if needed. Tune in to your NOAA Weather Radio tonight as well. If the storm turns into a Thunderstorm Watch and/or Warning, official announcements will go out from the National Weather Service. AND be sure to check in on your neighbors, family, and friends.

Currently, there is an active Severe Thunderstorm Watch for areas south and east of Kitsap County. If you are traveling in those areas, please be careful and heed local instructions. 

PSE is sending out the following reminders as well:
Storm Preparation Tips:
• Download the myPSE app to track and report outages, check status and get estimated restoration times, or visit pse.com/outagemap.
• Make sure to have emergency supplies on hand at home and in your vehicle, such as extra batteries, flashlights, and food.
• Charge cell phones, laptops, and other devices in case the power goes out.
• Avoid opening and closing refrigerators and freezers more often than necessary.
• A closed refrigerator will stay cold for up to 12 hours.
• Turn off lights and unplug all appliances and/or sensitive electronic equipment, such as computers, to prevent an overload on your circuits when electric service is restored.
• Leave one light on to let you know when service returns.

Storm Safety Tips:
• Never touch downed power lines because they might be energized.
• Stay at least 35 feet away from any downed line and call PSE at 1-888-225-5773 or 911 to report problems.
• Do not use a charcoal or gas grill to cook indoors.
• Never use a natural gas range for heating or charcoal as an indoor heating source.
• This can cause a buildup of poisonous carbon monoxide gas.
• If you choose to use a portable home generator, read the manufacturer’s instructions for the safe operation of the generator.
• Do not operate generators indoors or in enclosed spaces to avoid the build-up of carbon monoxide.
• If you’re using portable heaters, keep them away from furniture, draperies, and other flammable materials.
• Always use flashlights instead of candles.
