Outages continue to be widespread throughout the system with additional damage done late Thursday afternoon as the winds increased. Crews were called in before midnight to get some rest and were back out in the field at six this morning, according to a press release.
"We want to continue to warn the public to stay away from low hanging or downed power lines," said Leonard Hibl, with Roughrider Electric.
Power restoration will depend heavily on the impact and severity of the approaching weather system, according to the press release.
