The power outages in the Portland region could extend throughout the weekend for some, said Elizabeth Lattanner, a spokeswoman for PGE, one of the major electricity providers in the region. “In storms like these, restoration takes time given all of the challenges our crews face in getting to restoration sites and repairing those outages,” Lattanner said. By noon Saturday, more than 1,200 PGE power lines were down, Lattanner said. His house in Lake Owego had also lost power overnight. “Friends on the lower levels have power, so I have invites to go hang out there.”
