Nelson Hydro says the line crew is working on restoring power after this afternoon’s storm. It caused several power outages in the system and there are now many tree and damaged power line issues from one end of the system to the other. It’s estimated to take many hours to repair all the damage.
Nelson Hydro adds that there may be another storm system rolling through the Nelson area around 4:00 pm this afternoon, which could bring further power outages.
More information will be provided as it is received.
