“Please be considerate of these conditions during your morning commute. Allow for extra time, as damage has been extensive.”
These roads are still closed:

The WPD also reminds Westporteres to treat every downed wire as if it were live, even if it does not appear to be energized.

This is an unfortunate typo: “The WPD also reminds Westporteres to eat every downed wire as if it were live.”
The WPD also reminds Westporteres to eat every downed wire….
I think that’s “treat every…”
Yikes. Typo has been fixed. My apologies.
Very sorry to hear. Best wishes to my former town.
I don’t think you meant to say “eat” the downed wires.

Grammar police are out in full force today. #perfectpeople
