Today is a new day, and below is the latest on restoration efforts:

• Bemidji: Today we’ll have approximately 50 Lineworkers in Bemidji. Crews have restored power to Levinia and portions of the industrial park area, including South Lake Erving. Work continues in portions of the downtown corridor, along with a few outages remaining in the SouthShore area. Work will continue in other parts of Bemidji over the next few days, including the hard-hit northwest side of the lake. Power has been restored in the White Earth and Mahnomen areas. We will have crews in Wilton around noon.
• Crookston area: Restoration is complete.
• Fergus Falls: Restoration from the initial storm is complete. We have additional weather causing approximately 2,000 customers to be without power this morning. Crews are on it.
• Garrison/Rugby areas: Crews were able to restore power to parts of Tuttle last night and work continues there this morning. We anticipate full restoration around noon today. It’s likely we have approximately three hours of work remaining in Bowden.
• Jamestown: We have approximately 3,000 customers without power in Jamestown. Work is likely to continue into late afternoon or early evening today. We anticipate Medina and Cleveland restoration this morning, though there may be some single-home outages for a couple of days. Crews have restored power in Streeter. We anticipate restoring power to the remaining rural communities to the west of Jamestown this morning. Work in the Page area is likely to continue into Tuesday.
• Wahpeton: Crews anticipate restoration will continue in the Sheldon area into Monday evening or Tuesday morning.

We truly appreciate your patience. We’ll provide another update around 2:00 this afternoon. Thank you.
