Southern Nevada is expecting heavy rain on Christmas, and NV Energy is preparing for possible power outages. A Flood Watch is in effect. NV Energy warns residents to be careful around downed power lines and standing water, which may carry electricity. The company also advised people who rely on life support systems to have backup plans, as reported by FOX5 Vegas.
NV Energy has reinforced power lines and upgraded substations in vulnerable areas ahead of the Christmas storm, focusing on locations like Mt. Charleston to maintain a stable power supply. These measures follow previous damages from Tropical Storm Hillary and July windstorms, ensuring crews are prepared for severe weather conditions.
Residents can stay informed on power and weather updates through NV Energy’s website, and safety remains a priority during the storm. Regarding hazards, Meghin Delaney emphasized: "It’s really important that you do not touch any downed lines or wires that you may see," according to 8 News Now.
