Promising reports from the McKenzie area. The bright spot is with the exception of one tree that fell into the fencing & bit of the busing, our substation was essentially spared! This saves the Cooperative an incredible amount of time in getting power restored to the area. 1/4

In order to safely re-energize crews must patrol and inspect all lines in impacted areas. Crews are working around the clock and continue to identify and fix broken poles and cross arms. This is a time-consuming process. We appreciate everyone’s patience.

for the support crews and encouragement you have sent our way. Neighbors helping neighbors is the co-op way!
Oregon's electric co-ops - such as Lane Electric, Consumers Power and Blachly Lane - have done a remarkable job restoring power to their members in remote places - imagine being a co-op lineman in extreme heat with the worst air quality in the world - but they get the job done!
