SAN DIEGO, Calif. (KGTV) — Inland San Diego communities can count on wind gusts as much as 80 mph on Friday as Tropical Storm Kay approaches the area.
Residents and drivers in Alpine have been getting ready for the storm and its influence.
“Gotta be more weary at the wheel, so you’re not going into other people’s lanes,” mentioned Tristen Romero.
There’s probability inland residents will really feel the gusty situations on their commute. A High Wind Watch will likely be in impact beginning Friday morning.
“It moves you around, you gotta be aware. You can kind of see it on the side of the road when it really starts picking up, that’s when you slow it down a little bit,” said Greg Row.
San Diego Gas & Electric is advising residents to tie down any loose property to prevent injuries and damage to power lines overhead. Downed lines could cause power outages in windy areas.
“If at any time you see a tree within the line if you happen to see a wire on the bottom..please steer clear of it. Don’t assume it is deenergized,” mentioned Kevin Geraghty, Chief Operating Officer, SDG&E.
Geraghty added for any residents who do come throughout a downed line, they’re urged to contact 911 and their firm instantly.
