Wind, trees cut power

Minor power outages occur from Sunday's windstorm

Some power outages resulted from the windstorm that hit the South Cariboo on Sept. 20.

At South Green Lake, trees down over wires left 312 customers without BC Hydro service for up to six-and-a-half hours in the afternoon and early evening, from 2:08 to 8:47 p.m.

Later that day, another 78 residents just to the south of nearby North Bonaparte Road had no power from 3:47 p.m. to 1:22 a.m., also due to downed trees on power lines.

Other scattered outages that affected only a handful of customers each in several other locations were reported and repaired Sept. 20-21.
