Tauran Ivall was out burning branches to cut down debris Tuesday afternoon. Ivall said he lost power at his Southwest Portland home around 10:00 AM Saturday morning. "Tried to get out for some things to tide us over, but coming down our driveway a tree fell right in front where I was taking off. So, we were stuck at that point.

Laurel Kurtz said the power went out at her Southeast Portland home just before 12:30 Saturday afternoon. Her family chopped up an old fence and used that, along with some logs, to stay warm throughout the weekend. "We’ve been cooking on the wood stove and making instant coffee and just huddling and then going under wool blankets at night while sleeping," said Kurtz. Kurtz said the power came back Monday morning, lasting less than a minute before her house was back in the dark.
