October Windstorm

The high winds and rainy weather have caused many outages around our service area. There are approximately 148,000 customers without power. Our Emergency Coordination Center and local storm bases remain open to coordinate restoration efforts.

Damage is the heaviest in Pierce and Thurston counties. The high winds and resulting tree damage not only downed the smaller, local power lines, but also damaged the larger transmission lines – the power lines that bring power into the communities. We dispatched helicopters this morning to these areas to assess damage to our transmission lines.

Transmission lines need to be brought back into service before crews can focus on the local distribution system within neighborhoods and communities.
