News brief: Wind, trees continue to cause issues with electrical service, roads

Lewis County PUD is still getting calls this morning of power outages around the county.

Spokesperson Corenne Moses said customers have been losing power since 9 a.m. yesterday when the high winds began.

At one point last night they lost a main feeder that cut off electricity to residents from Silver Creek to Glenoma, but that has been restored, Moses said.

High winds have knocked trees onto roadways through the night, causing closures including on U.S. Highway 12 and state Route 508, according to the state Department of Transportation.

The utility is posting information on the homepage of its website about where electricity has been cut off. Check here at Lewis County PUD

    A heat felt “Thank You” to all the line crews and clean up crews who worked through the night to get the power back up.
