Gusts up to 47 mph are in the Champaign-Urbana forecast around Wednesday, Nov 4. A quick walk around the yard beforehand can help.
Look for dead or hanging branches over the roof, driveway or power lines. Check for cracks where big limbs meet the trunk, and for any tree that has started to lean. Move cars out from under big limbs.
Please never climb or cut a tree near power lines. If you see a downed line, stay back and call your utility.
