Over 1,200 without power in Door County

STURGEON BAY, Wis. (WBAY) — Wisconsin Public Service reported more than 1,600 homes and businesses in its coverage area were without power at noon Monday.

The majority are in Door County, where there are more than 50 known outages affecting 1,261 customers, about 100 more customers than at 9:30.

More than half of these are in the northern part of the peninsula. The outages affect 6% of WPS customers in the county, according to poweroutage.us.

We Energies is restoring power to more than 10,000 customers. Power was restored to about 2,000 in the past few hours.

Most of the outages are in southeastern Wisconsin. There are 1,363 We Energies customers and 198 Alliant Energy customers without power in Sheboygan County.

There are also several hundred We Energies customers power-less in the Upper Peninsula.

Power outages were expected with heavy snow and wind gusting to 50 and even 60 miles per hour during the Ides of March blizzard.

Make sure your mobile devices are charged and you have an emergency kit for your home.

If your power goes out, keep refrigerators and freezers closed as much as possible to preserve food. The USDA says a refrigerator should keep your food below 40 degrees for up to 4 hours. A fully-stocked freezer can stay cold for up to 48 hours.

Prevent carbon monoxide buildup or gas leaks by clearing snow away from appliance vents and your natural gas meter using your hands or a broom. Don’t use a shovel or other tools, which could cause damage.
