Power nearly all restored

Only a few of homes across the Okanagan are still without power as a result of Tuesday's windstorm.

According to BC Hydro's website, about 150 customers in the Central and North Okanagan are without power, mainly due to lines down.

The largest group is in the area of Okanagan Centre Road, where 75 customers had their power go out about 6:30 a.m. Wednesday.

A crew has been assigned to the outage, however, no time frame for a restoration of power has been determined.

In the North Okanagan, power has yet to be restored to 35 customers after it went down Wednesday afternoon. Another 20 customers in Spallumcheen lost power just after 6:30 a.m. this morning.

That outage has not yet been assigned.

More than 27,000 BC Hydro customers across the Okanagan have had their power restored.

Environment Canada is forecasting winds gusting at times to 50 km/h and a potential for thunderstorms this afternoon.
