Avoyelles Police Jury President urges residents to be ready for power outages

Avoyelles Parish residents may be out of electricity starting in tomorrow's ice storm.

Police Jury President Kirby Roy, III email out a statement this afternoon:
"Same as for a hurricane, prepare for the possibility of electricity going out for a few days. Please use common sense when using a generator, extra heaters, the type of heaters, and overloading your electrical capacity. Don't forget about your pets. Stay home, if at all possible."
