EWEB asks those affected by the outage to turn on their porch lights. This is the best way for crews in the area to know which residences have power and which still need work.

A shelter for people without power has been set up by the Red Cross at Spencer Butte Middle School in Eugene. The shelter is expected to remain open for several more days.
