This storm was unique in that it impacted all the communities in our coverage area. We?re going to do a lot of analysis after all our customers have their service back on.

[Crews] will be working throughout the evening until all our customers' power is restored, ... We're on standby in the case that the winds continue in other parts of the state.

We think this outage will be transparent to most of our customers. We decided to do the work now because failure of this equipment could potentially cause problems at a less convenient time.
