@Melissa_Brunner @WIBWJeremy @Melissa_Brunner, can you see if @WIBWJeremy can shut this stuff down? We’ll take the rain, but hard pass on weather that causes power outages.

[FreeState Electric @FreeStateCoop]

@KevinRomary Um. We hope so.

[FreeState Electric @FreeStateCoop]

In case you were not aware, there is rain, and some hail, and some wind. These things, when they gang up on electric infrastructure, make outages. We have some linemen out now working to fix what the weather did. #blametheweather #thankalineworker

[FreeState Electric @FreeStateCoop]

Thinking about ALL the southern US cooperatives impacted by today's crazy weather. We're sending positive vibes to ya'll!

[FreeState Electric @FreeStateCoop]

Sending positive vibes to our fellow cooperative @CAEC_COOP in Alabama. They are dealing with some crazy weather today.

[FreeState Electric @FreeStateCoop]

Water in the hallway is a problem. Our Topeka office will be closing and our employees switching to remote work while this gets fixed. Big yikes.

[FreeState Electric @FreeStateCoop]

You guys. It's awful out. Our line crews will be ready to address any outages, emergencies, and other immediate needs, but for now they are working in our shop prepping. #thankalineworker

[12/22/22, 8:00 AM Update]: Roads are snow and ice-covered, making for slick driving conditions. Blowing snow will continue due to strong winds. If you must travel, be sure to take it slow, wear multiple layers, and check on road conditions at https://t.co/GTcHe8K7MV. #kswx

[FreeState Electric @FreeStateCoop]

Hey friends! Just a reminder that our offices are closed tomorrow due to the crazy weather. We want EVERYONE to be safe, so please pay attention to warnings and stay safe and warm. We'll be here if you need us! #thankalineworker

WEATHER UPDATE: Road conditions are worsening as a winter storm begins to move into Kansas on Wednesday. https://t.co/rTabZDcFVk

[FreeState Electric @FreeStateCoop]

Safety is a priority. FreeState offices will be CLOSED on Thursday, December 22. Staff will be available via phone and email.

Crews are prepared. Conditions may cause a slight delay in response times, but when the lights go out, so do we! Stay updated at https://t.co/PlC636uBFX

[FreeState Electric @FreeStateCoop]

The wind, it's a blowing today. We've got some outages this morning. We can't distribute power that isn't there from @evergypower, but they're working on it. As a friendly reminder, FreeState doesn't control wind. #wishwedid #thankalineman

[FreeState Electric @FreeStateCoop]

When you close the office so you can have all employee training and meetings on Halloween, you have fun with it. Our CEO took it seriously.

[Cooperative Energy @CoopEnergyMS]

Overhead lines can be deadly. Electricity from power lines can “jump” to nearby objects (like ladders), so stay at least 10 feet away from overhead lines. Learn more about #ElectricalSafety and download your free safety guides at https://t.co/9A9eA2eFJw.
