Watch Out For High Winds

As the season changes and cold fronts arrive, high winds can rip through New York City. The urban canyons, created by the City's high-rises, amplify the effects of these windstorms. Though high winds are generally associated with blizzards, thunderstorms, and nor'easters, they can also result from drops in temperature and air pressure differentials, both common in the fall. OEM urges New Yorkers to secure any patio or roof furniture in preparation for the blustery days ahead. Learn more about high winds See OEM's Tip of the Week Online
