Even after the storm passes, power outages have their own set of hazards. Be especially careful with generators — never use them inside or in garages to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Use flashlights, not candles, to avoid risk of fire.

It’s #WhereInTheWorld Wednesday! 🛰️🌎🔍
Time for a new quiz!

Twice daily the bay fills and empties billions of tons of water during each tide cycle—that’s more than the flow of all the world’s freshwater rivers combined.

What is the name of this bay?
- Anchor Bay
- Baffin Bay
- Conception Bay
- Bay of Fundy
