Original post: There are multiple trees down on county roads following high winds overnight. Our crews will respond today to remove downed trees and debris when possible, coordinate with utility companies when utility lines are involved, and close roads or lanes as needed.
⚠️ Please drive cautiously, leave early, take your time, and leave extra space between vehicles. Do not drive around road closure barricades, near downed utility lines or landslides, or through water over the roadway.
