High winds knocked down trees and power lines from the Canadian border down to the Palouse. In north Idaho, Erika Neff from Kootenai Electric Cooperative says, in the early evening, crews were trying to bring back power for more than 15,000 customers from nearly 50 outages. “We have 11 crews working right now and we’re calling in more contact crews. As they assess damage, we are asking our members to be prepared for outages that last throughout the night and possibly to multiple days," she said. "It’s really widespread throughout our system and we serve up from about Athol all the way down to the Worley area. So, throughout Kootenai County we’re seeing outages," she said.
