We invite you to watch @AlertDurham for all things #hurricane related AND because September is National Preparedness Month.
Gettin’ real nearby, folks. Mind the weather. Grab your helmet. Make sure you have a clear path to your safe place. @AlertDurham
Power out due to storms? Use flashlights or other battery powered lights. Never leave candles unattended or, better yet, just don’t use them. @AlertDurham
