Heavy Ice Causes Falling Limbs, Travel Restricted in Area

Emergency officials issued a warning Tuesday afternoon about dangerous conditions caused by heavy ice accumulation on trees. Falling branches and limbs pose a risk to public safety, especially as wind gusts may cause additional limbs to fall without warning.

Roadways remain partially covered and hazardous. Authorities urge residents to avoid outdoor activities unless absolutely necessary. Those needing to travel are advised to exercise extreme caution.

Officials also recommend checking on family, friends, neighbors, and the elderly to ensure their safety amid the ongoing conditions. The situation remains under review as crews work to clear fallen limbs and assess damage.
