October Windstorm

We are also watching the weather forecast and the potential for winds this afternoon and tonight in western Whatcom County and the Cascade Foothills. High winds could increase the number of outages or might delay current restoration efforts if conditions are not safe for our crews to continue to work for a period of time.
