Power Outages & Safety After Storms

Severe storms hit Cincinnati overnight, sparking tornado warnings and plunging thousands into darkness—especially in southwestern Ohio and northern Kentucky. Duke Energy urges safety: text “OUT” to 57801 to report outages, and stay clear of downed power lines. If stranded in a car with a fallen line, stay put—unless it’s an emergency, then jump clear without touching the vehicle. Generators? Only use outdoors, never indoors, and follow safety rules to avoid carbon monoxide. Updates? Text “REG” to 57801 or visit duke-energy.com/outagealerts. The grid’s taking a beating—but help is on the way. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
