Weather

  After our typical dry summer months, autumn has turned unusually wet in the Lake Almanor Basin.

  October and November brought both rain and snow to the area, with very heavy rains arriving the last few days of November.

Preparing for Power Outages

• Have battery-operated flashlights and radios with fresh batteries ready. Listen for updates on storm conditions and power outages.
• If you have a telephone system that requires electricity to work (such as a cordless phone or answering machine), plan for alternate communication - have a standard telephone handset, cellular telephone or pager ready as a back-up.
• Freeze plastic containers filled with water to make blocks of ice that can be placed in your refrigerator/freezer during an outage to prevent foods from spoiling.
