PORTLAND, Ore. (KPTV) – Thousands of people remain without power after strong winds hit the Pacific Northwest on Tuesday night.
As of early Thursday morning, Portland General Electric’s outage map showed more than 21,000 customers without power in the Portland-Salem metropolitan area.
According to PGE, crews have restored power for around 115,000 customers as of 7 a.m. Thursday.
PGE spokesperson John Farmer said the goal is to restore power to the vast majority of customers by Thursday night. However, another atmospheric river moving through the area could slow progress.
“We are going to work as quickly and safely as possible to restore outages, and we will be ready if Mother Nature deals us another round tomorrow afternoon,” Farmer said.
Pacific Power’s outage map showed 1,333 customers without power in Oregon on Thursday morning, while Clark PUD had just over 2,000 customers still without power.
