Power back on for more than 300 as wind knocks out power to part of Hill

A few hundred Capitol Hill residents spent this morning in the dark. According to Seattle City Light, 328 customers were without service starting around 5:24 AM this morning when a tree branch damaged lines. Traffic lights were out on 10th Ave north between Mercer and Roanoke according to a text we received from a reader this morning. That power is now restored. Overnight winds reached 25 miles per hour at the NOAA station down on Lake Washington and more than 30 miles per hour in West Seattle. Meteorologist Cliff Mass says there is a chance that Seattle is about to get pounded by an even larger windstorm this week.

Thank you for posting the information above. The electrical company’s site was giving me no information nor answers.
