As we prepare ahead of the storm, OPPD says they are preparing too.
"We are holding over extra crews so that we will be ready to respond quickly in the event of a power outage, however, our crews can't go out there when there is lightning or other dangers that are threatening them, so they have to kind of wait in their truck, wait for some things to subside before they can get to that," said Jodi Baker, spokesperson for OPPD.
OPPD says If your power goes out, they need to know so be sure to report it so they can respond as quickly as possible.
