US Weather Service Warns of Power Outage Hazards After Storm

After a storm passes, power outages can pose significant hazards, according to the National Weather Service in Jackson, Mississippi.

Officials advise residents to exercise caution with generators, warning never to use them indoors or in garages to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

They also recommend using flashlights instead of candles to reduce the risk of fires during outages.

The agency encourages residents to stay informed and follow safety guidelines as recovery efforts continue after the storm.
