The Snohomish County Public Utility Division released statistics Wednesday that show the severity of the fall storm that rolled through the region earlier this month.
From Nov. 4 through Nov. 11, Snohomish PUD:
- Replaced 70 power poles.
- Replaced 618 cutouts.
- Replaced 90 transformers.
- Replaced more than 27 miles of wire.
- Made 250 deliveries from its warehouse.
The agency said it replaced more poles, transformers and wires than it did during a similarly damaging storm in November 2015, all in a span of seven days.
Early stats from our storm response last week. We replaced more poles, transformers & wires than we did during the Nov 2015 storm and we did it in the same duration of 7 days. Reviewing stats like these help us plan for the future. Thank you again for your support! #PublicPower pic.twitter.com/gqPCnb9s2j
