Thousands are still without power after the powerful storms and winds that came through Monday night. Although Howell Oregon Electric (HOE) workers are laboring diligently, so many were without power at the end of the storm; HOE is asking patrons to be patient as they are working their way to get everyone up.<\/p>\n
The storm brought strong winds that toppled trees and sent debris flying.
