Outdoor Electrical Fixes:

If power is lost during a storm, turn off or unplug electrical appliances so that there’s not a power surge when the electricity comes back on. If there’s flooding, watch out for water around electrical items and never use appliances if they’re wet. Avoid playing with kites or toy planes near overhead power lines. If a toy happens to get caught in a power line, do not attempt to remove it yourself. Avoid pruning trees yourself that are located near power lines.
