Our crews are doing an amazing job. We have reduced the number of outages significantly since 9:40 AM. Currently we have crews working in Lutsen, Colvil and Rosebush Creek areas. We have confirmed 6 broken poles and in those areas, we will not be able to restore power until tomorrow.
We will be pulling the crews no later than 10 PM and they will start back up at 6 AM tomorrow.
Of the nearly 6000 meters we have on the system, more than 3600 were out and we are still tallying the total number for this storm.
Thank you for all the kind words of support, our crews appreciate it very much
