Power Outage
I spoke to one of the crews Sunday morning before the power returned and learned some details about the outage:
There was a tree that fell on the 115kV power lines that supply the Leota substation. The lines also fell on the lower voltage neighborhood trunks and causing more damage.
I watched about 8-10 utility and tree trimming trucks roll out along 195th street and then the power returned about 2 minutes later at 7:35am.
The crews had been working to repair the damage and this particular crew came from Yakima.
Perhaps someone has more details or pictures of the damage to add.
