Manchester Township Police are advising residents to secure all objects that could be blown around in these winds. Any loose object could become a flying object possibly causing damage or injury to anyone in the area. Also be aware of any loose tree limbs in your yard or along the highway that can become flying objects as well under the weight of the heavy snow or high winds.
