Atmospheric river event

We are gearing up for another stormy night. Heavy rain and strong winds started this afternoon and are forecasted into the morning on Wednesday. We expect to see widespread power outages due to the combination of rain, wind, and saturated and unstable soil.

We understand how hard it is to be without power and that you are depending on us. Forecasts also indicate temperatures will drop starting tomorrow. We encourage our customers to take steps now to be without power.

Today, crews made steady progress restoring power from the previous two storms. We have staged crews and brought in additional crews from outside the area to support restoration efforts. Access to some areas has been an issue and is a concern tomorrow if there are road closures and continued flooding. We are also worried about saturated and unstable ground that prevents crews from working safely.
