Hurricane Sandy Blows into Oxford

Monday, 29 October 2012 at 11:26

Hurricane Sandy, or what's left of the massive storm, is expected to blow into Oxford County later tonight. Environment Canada's emergency preparedness meteorologist Geoff Coulson says high winds will pose the biggest threat to our area. "Not only Woodstock, but pretty much all of South-Western Ontario is within the wind-warning issued by Environment Canada earlier today. That's the main concern with the remnants of Hurricane Sandy as it makes landfall later on this evening. During the evening hours tonight and early tomorrow morning we could be seeing local wind gusts up to 100 km/h," said Coulson. He says these winds are going to be about as bad as it'll get in our region. Environment Canada says falling limbs and the odd toppled tree taking out hydro lines may cause sporadic power issues. Be sure to secure loose objects around your property like Halloween decorations and lawn furniture. And two hands on the wheel if you need to be out on the roads tonight.
