Release #9
September 11, 2017
Levy County Commissioner Chairman John Meeks in
conjunction with Sheriff McCallum and the Levy County Emergency Management
Division has ordered that the curfew for Levy County be lifted at 2pm. This
will ensure that Levy County is no longer under any threat of tropical storm
force winds and will give damage crews time to make sure that there are no
major hazards that have not been identified.
Power lines are down
and reports from CFEC and Duke Energy representatives indicated will take some
time for trees and lines to be cleared and power restored. Everyone is
cautioned as they attempt to clear downed trees that if they have entangled
with a power line it would be safest to wait for the power crews to make the
area safe for you. Please, if you have not had an electrician install proper
wiring for generator hook-up for your home, do not plug the generator directly
into your home. This creates a dangerous condition known as back feed for power
crews as they work to restore power.
