Hundreds of People Are Still Without Power

Wild Rice Electric crews spent the day restoring power.

About 3,500 customers were affected in last night’s storms.

Crews have been out since about midnight responding to outages.

As of mid-afternoon, power was restored to about half of the customers.

Crews are still working to restore power around Elbow Lake, Toad Lake, Snyder Lake, Height of Land, Fosston, Lengby, Hawley and Lake Park.

The company says crews hope to have main feed lines fixed tonight, but there will still be individual outages.
