Severe Weather Warning

Telephone line workers should exercise extreme caution during tomorrow’s severe weather event in Maryland. Forecasts indicate the potential for damaging winds, lightning, heavy rain, and possible tornadoes, all of which create dangerous conditions for pole climbing, bucket operations, and roadside work. Crews should monitor weather conditions closely, avoid elevated work during lightning or high winds, and treat all downed lines as energized. If conditions become unsafe, stop work and seek shelter immediately—no repair job is worth risking your safety.
