Over 19,000 Pacific Power customers in Clatsop County lost power just before 6 p.m. Monday.

The outages were attributed to high winds from Cannon Beach up through the Knappa and Brownsmead areas. The Pacific Power website reported that 19,836 customers from Knappa to Cannon Beach were affected Monday night. The company said crews had been dispatched to restore power.

As of 9 a.m. Wednesday, Pacific Power’s website said that about 430 customers from Seaside to Knappa were still without power.

In some areas, the power outages were due to wind and downed trees, Pacific Power said, but the cause of other outages is under investigation. 

The power outages and weather-related wind damage prompted delays at county schools and businesses on Tuesday.
