As we recover from last week's ice storm, it is important to check for potential side effects in your home.

Things to Check For After an Ice Storm. Leaks: The heavy wind can blow leaves into your gutter, which in turn can get clogged and cause water to leak inside your home. Melted snow can also leak into your basement. Flooding: Pipes can burst during cold snaps, leading to flooding and water damage. The sump pump can also be blocked by freezing temperatures and force water back into your house. Fires: Heating equipment plugged into an overloaded outlet and an unattended fireplace are two common causes of fires during a severe winter storm.
During the ice storm, we saw so many members and business owners in the community stepping up to help one another. Who made a positive impact on you during this time? Let us know in the comments!

Oregon weather is persnickety, and black ice can be, too! Learn how to be safe when black ice is on the road!
over 1 year ago, Creswell Admin
Black ice can form on any road, but also along curbs and drainage areas due to melting snow. It is more prevalent at night but can still be around in the morning. Use caution while driving during freezing temperatures after rain or snowmelt.
