<span style="font-size: 12pt;" times="" new="" roman="" ,="" serif="" ;="">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;" times="" new="" roman="" ,="" serif="" ;="">WTOP Radio (FM 103.5) is a great
source of weather and storm information, particularly if you lose power, those
battery operated radios are always a great resource. WTOP keeps on top of
the situation in the whole area and they also have VDOT and power company
officials on the air regularly providing status information.

<span style="font-size: 12pt;" times="" new="" roman="" ,="" serif="" ;="">WIND WARNINGS<span style="font-size: 12pt;" times="" new="" roman="" ,="" serif="" ;="">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;" times="" new="" roman="" ,="" serif="" ;="">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;" times="" new="" roman="" ,="" serif="" ;="">Winds are one of the big concerns
with this storm. Given these fairly substantial winds, which we did not
have with the first storm, there will be more power outages from that
threat.

If you have a power outage, call 888-667-3000 for Dominion Power customers

<span style="font-size: 12pt;" times="" new="" roman="" ,="" serif="" ;=""> <span style="font-size: 12pt;" times="" new="" roman="" ,="" serif="" ;="">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;" times="" new="" roman="" ,="" serif="" ;="">A constituent provided a good
warning tip about icicles as they accumulate around our homes and businesses
and break off and fall. They can become very thick and dangerous if they
hit you so one more common sense safety tip to add to the things we need to be
careful about in these conditions.
