High Winds of Concern

The EOC is monitoring weather conditions. We have high winds (25-35 mph with gusts to 50 mph) in much of the territory that is causing galloping lines and making driving hazardous. With the season’s first Winter Storm Watch for Downstate Illinois, the Ameren Illinois Utilities (AmerenCILCO, AmerenCIPS, AmerenIP) remind customers that personal safety and storm preparedness must be taken seriously.

"Safety is our first and foremost concern when severe weather strikes," said Ron Pate, vice president of Operations for the Ameren Illinois Utilities."The most important safety rule is to stay clear of downed power lines and always call your Ameren Illinois Utility or ‘911’ if you see downed lines. Assume all downed power lines are energized. Stay inside, especially at night because you may walk into an energized power line. Stay clear of brush, shrubs and downed trees that may hide downed lines."
