Bad weather possible...Follow the directions from Consumers Energy:
According to the National Weather Service, hazardous weather conditions are possible in your area. This weather could result in power outages, downed wires and other safety hazards.

We are mobilizing resources to quickly respond to any service interruptions. Consumers Energy is preparing over 200 crews to be ready to restore power if severe weather strikes Michigan today and Wednesday.

Customers can check the status of outages at ConsumersEnergy.com/OutageCenter. They can also sign up for outage alerts and restoration times sent to a phone, email or text message, Text 'REG' to 232273 or visit ConsumersEnergy.com/alerts.

Safety remains a top priority for the company. Customers are asked to practice extreme caution and follow these safety tips:

Stay away from flooded areas near electrical equipment. Never walk, drive or wade through floodwaters that may be near power lines, substations, transformers or other electrical infrastructure.
Stay at least 25 feet away from downed power lines. Report unguarded downed lines by calling 9-1-1 and Consumers Energy at 800-477-5050.
Turn off electricity if it is safe to do so. If flooding is approaching your home and you can safely access the main breaker while standing on dry ground, shut off power. Do not attempt this if water is already present.
Unplug sensitive electronics like TVs, computers and printers. Turn power strips off.
Never use a generator in an attached garage, basement, enclosed patio or near any air intakes. Doing so could cause a generator to produce hazardous levels of carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless and deadly gas. Read more guidance on safe generator use here.
Consumers Energy will trim or remove trees interfering with electric restoration activities. Once safe to do so, clean-up of debris from tree trimming or removal during a storm emergency is the responsibility of individual property owners.

Get messages about billing information and power outages in your area, wherever you are, 24 hours a day.

The Reno Agency is closed Monday February 16th for the federal holiday - Washington's Birthday or is it Presidents Day?

Washington’s Birthday or Presidents’ Day?
It all started with Washington’s Birthday. In 1885, the US Government decided to honor the first US president, George Washington, with his own federal holiday: Washington’s Birthday. It was celebrated on Washington’s actual birthday*, February 22. In 1885, this day was a Sunday.

Almost one hundred years later, in 1971, the US Congress changed the date for Washington’s birthday celebration to the third Monday in February to create a three-day weekend. Congress never changed the name—federally, the holiday is still called “Washington’s Birthday.”

The naming differences become clearer when you look at the state holidays. Several US states introduced their own state holidays with different names:

7 states and DC call it “Washington’s Birthday” or “George Washington Day.”
5 states use some combination of Washington and another president, usually Lincoln.
4 states use Washington and “Presidents’ Day” in their title.
24 states use “Presidents’ Day” in some variation—eleven use “Presidents’ Day” (plural), ten call it “President’s Day” (singular), and three simply use “Presidents Day.”
10 states do not celebrate the day at all.
So both “Presidents’ Day” and “Washington’s Birthday” are correct. Today, most people use “Presidents’ Day” as the name for this holiday.
