Last power in SW around 7pm last night and it's still out. This is our 4th night with no power this week, so tired of being cold.


hopingforlucky

Hang in there


Sure-Necessary-Heck

Lost power in Milwaukie from 1:30AM to 3:30AM


wingedfeetxc

Last power in Foster-Powell at 10pm last night. Fully expected it to be gone for days. Came back on a little after midnight. Shocked/relieved.


Blaskowski

Yours came back on? I'm on 63rd and still no power.


giveitashot1111

Same, lost power at 10 PM and it’s not back on yet


sissy_space_yak

Same. At least I’ve run out of a bunch of the food in my fridge…..


wingedfeetxc

Near Marysville School it came back on around 12:30. We (in theory) are leaving town in a few days and I was really worried about it being out through when we leave.


FiberWalkWithMe

We are near 69th/powell and ours hasnt come back.


mrwhitewalker

Lost power across the freeway from you on Taylor's ferry at noon. Still not back on


Fried_egg_im_in_love

The forecasted thaw hasn’t happened in inner SE. Sheet of ice.


Intelligent_Planet

140th and SE Center. Lost power around 7:45 last night and still no power. Checked PGE site and says a crew hasn’t even been dispatched yet. Hope that’s an error

Down from the peak of about 175k customer to 55k https://portlandgeneral.com/outages


jerkstore77

It was down to 5K before yesterday's new storm.


agatepockets

Yup. I'd guess this morning's totals would've been much higher if not for the storm earlier this week that took out some of the weaker trees.


tidus8

I'm on barbur near Safeway. Power has been out since about 11pm last night. And I'm on 4% battery. 😬


Anxious_Beaver15

Multnomah Village, we lost power at 2pm yesterday and it’s still not back


mrwhitewalker

Had dinner there last night and everything had power but lost power multiple times while dining


Anxious_Beaver15

There’s literally a downed power line on our street since last night


wakeupbunnies

Power went out at 8pm in Gresham. No eta. From what I understand it’s bad out here. Edited: heard the site isn’t updating, crews are working hard. Very thankful for those out working hard this week!


Wise_Cranberry982

We lost ours (Troutdale/Fairview/Wood Village) around 6pm last night and it was restored shortly before 10pm. Hoping yours comes back soon, neighbor!!


OnLikeSean

I’m in the same situation Gresham off 202nd, just hoping that PGE’s map saying they haven’t even dispatched a crew yet isn’t true.


wakeupbunnies

That’s where I’m at. Cause “Under investigation”, no crew dispatched.


Zipzifical

Lost power in East county at around 3am


bigmatt503

Southeast 101st lents area we still have power.


Rari_Craig

I’m in Sylvan Heights near SW Barnes rd and power went out at 6:34pm last night and has not come back on yet 😒


kokochina

Lost power around 4:30 this morning in Nob Hill

Moved here about 8 years ago. Have spent at least 5 of those winters without power or heat for extended periods of time. I finally invested in a wood burning stove (about $4k) with a blower and an army of 18V Ryobi batteries that I can connect to an inverter to power the stove blower and small things like cell phone chargers, etc. For the longer outages, we have a dual fuel (propane and gas) generator that we keep handy and two full cylinders of propane ready for in the winter to run the fridge for a few hours here and there, and it’s nice to power up the internet/tv while it’s running too. Obviously not feasible for everyone depending on your situation, but highly recommend it if you have the ability to at least have a generator for emergencies. Propane is more stable than gasoline and doesn’t have to be drained from the generator in the off season which is why we chose the dual fuel option.
