PORTLAND, Ore. – Crews were still working Friday morning to restore power to thousands of customers following a violent thunderstorm that blew through Western Oregon a day earlier, knocking down trees and branches onto homes and cars and sending debris flying through the air.

PGE said it still had 6,700 customers without power as of 5 a.m. – down from about 50,000 who lost power during the storm’s peak about 6 p.m. Thursday. That included thousands in Salem and Marion County as well as in Washington County. There were fewer than 1,000 customers without power in Portland, PGE said.

In Cowlitz County, crews restored power to all customers by about 7:15 p.m. after some 5,300 lost it Thursday night.Read the whole story at : KATU News
