Portland on Saturday night

Portland on Saturday night, May 18, 2019.

Thousands of Portland area homes are without power on Saturday night due to high wind, Portland General Electric said.

As of 9:30 p.m., an estimated 4,950 customers were without power in the tri-county area. The bulk of the outages were in Multnomah County (3,609).

Check the status of your home or the outages in your area on PGE’s website to find out when power may be restored. Different areas were projected to see power restored at different times.
