BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Maine is set to feel the power of Sandy over the next 24 to 48 hours. So how can you stay connected with us during a power outage?

You can also sign up for text alerts to any mobile phone by going to this link from our website:

http://www.WLBZ2.com/weather/resources/text_alert/default.aspx

You can choose between breaking news, weather, and school closings. If you wish to stop text alerts at any time simply text "STOP ALL" to this number: 25543

If you have a smart phone, and a data plan, your data plans will still work on your mobile device as long as you have a cell signal. Before power goes out, you can download our free app for both iPhone/iPad and Android devices. Search for "WLBZ2" in either the Apple App store or the Google Play store. We also have a mobile page too, that can be found at: http://m.WLBZ2.com

We will also be posting regular updates about Sandy (and any news related to Sandy -- including links to cancellations) on our Facebook page and Twitter feed. You do not need an account on Twitter or Facebook to see what we post, though it does help if you want to communicate, or share, with us. You can pull up the following links and see what we have posted, or to "like" and "follow" us.

Throughout the storm, you can help us cover Sandy. Your feedback helps us know where the storm is hitting the hardest. Tweet, Facebook, or email to us information about what is happening where you live. If it's safe -- snap a photo, or a video, and share it with us.
