Powerful winds are expected Sunday and Sunday night, some gusting to 50 mph or higher around the region. Rappahannock Electric Cooperative says the wind – combined with the saturated ground – could lead to downed trees, which could cause power outages.
REC has posted on social media some reminders:
—If you lose power, *please do not report your outage on social media.*
— Instead, you can report outages from the Outage Center, in the MyREC SmartHub mobile app, by calling 800-552-3904 or by texting OUT to 63273.
