In case you were not aware, there is rain, and some hail, and some wind. These things, when they gang up on electric infrastructure, make outages. We have some linemen out now working to fix what the weather did. #blametheweather #thankalineworker

Water in the hallway is a problem. Our Topeka office will be closing and our employees switching to remote work while this gets fixed. Big yikes.

You guys. It's awful out. Our line crews will be ready to address any outages, emergencies, and other immediate needs, but for now they are working in our shop prepping. #thankalineworker

[12/22/22, 8:00 AM Update]: Roads are snow and ice-covered, making for slick driving conditions. Blowing snow will continue due to strong winds. If you must travel, be sure to take it slow, wear multiple layers, and check on road conditions at kandrive.org. #kswx

Safety is a priority. FreeState offices will be CLOSED on Thursday, December 22. Staff will be available via phone and email. Crews are prepared. Conditions may cause a slight delay in response times, but when the lights go out, so do we! Stay updated at freestate.pub/3YCvBdw

The wind, it's a blowing today. We've got some outages this morning. We can't distribute power that isn't there from @evergypower, but they're working on it. As a friendly reminder, FreeState doesn't control wind. #wishwedid #thankalineman
When you close the office so you can have all employee training and meetings on Halloween, you have fun with it. Our CEO took it seriously.

Overhead lines can be deadly. Electricity from power lines can “jump” to nearby objects (like ladders), so stay at least 10 feet away from overhead lines. Learn more about #ElectricalSafety and download your free safety guides at BeAwareEverywhere.com.
