More than three hundred Portland General Electric customers were without power Wednesday morning after a tree fell on a utility line, PGE said.
Eyewitness reports put the tree down in the Cedar Canyon and Hartwick Road area.
According to the utility company 308 customers lost power just after 7:30 a.m.
Restoration was estimated at 12:30 p.m.
It’s the second outage to hit the region in the last 24 hours; Tuesday night saw homes and businesses in the Buxton and Manning area lose power too, the West Oregon Electric Co-op said.
