Out of Power? Getting Hot? The Town Can Help

The thunder and lightning storms on Thursday night caused power lines to fall, prompting power outages.

As of 6 a.m. today, the UI reported that 62 customers in Orange were without power.

Although today will be relatively cool compared to yesterday's hot and humid temperatures, the town is offering residents the option of relaxing at the High Plains Community Center if their own homes become too uncomfortable.

The Case Memorial Library also offers air conditioned comfort, with neatly arranged sofas and plush chairs and free, fast Wifi so you can work on your computer.

Both of these options are open, free to the public during regular hours.
