Just over 400 meters are still without power as of late Wednesday night in the Douglas Electric Cooperative service area, following the windstorm that hit the region Monday and Tuesday.

Assistant General Manager Phil Bigler said the majority of those without power are in the Loon Lake, Tenmile Lake, Upper Smith River, South Smith River and Scottsburg areas. Bigler said there are additional smaller outages in the Drain and Elkton areas, with a few scattered outages in parts of Melrose, Lookingglass, and Oakland.

Work will continue Thursday to restore the rest of those still without power.
