Cda power outages
COEUR d'ALENE - More than 2,000 people in the downtown Coeur d'Alene area experienced power outages for a bit more than an hour Saturday afternoon when windy conditions caused trees to blow into power lines.
Avista Utilities spokesperson Laurine Jue said an interrupted "feeder," a major electrical distribution line, was the source of the high volume of outages.
"An entire feeder was affected," she said. "When a feeder goes out, it certainly affects a significant number of customers."
