Thousands were without power in the Portland metro area late Friday night as officials continued to respond to reports of downed trees and power lines.

Power was out for more than 18,000 Portland General Electric customers -- almost 16,800 in Multnomah County alone -- as of 10:30 p.m. The outages came during the second-straight day of a winter storm that has disrupted life as usual in the Portland area.

The storm wasn't quite in the rear-view mirror Friday night, either.

Forecasters predicted a few areas -- primarily the West Hills and east metro area -- would continue to see freezing rain until late Friday. The National Weather Service extended its freezing rain advisory until 4 a.m. Saturday for the Portland and Vancouver areas.

Preliminary numbers show PF&R has gone on 378 emergencies between midnight last night & 7:30 pm today. 65 power related & 59 falls on ice. — Portland Fire&Rescue (@PDXFire) December 10, 2016

Lt. Rich Tyler, a Portland Fire & Rescue spokesman, said Friday night that calls about downed trees and power lines started rolling in around 3 p.m.

And since then: "We're just running call after call after call."

He said multiple downed trees took out power lines and poles on West Burnside Street, prompting officials to block the thoroughfare between Northwest 23rd Avenue and Skyline Boulevard. No one was injured and no houses or vehicles were in danger, the agency tweeted.

Firefighters worked to get least 75 people off a MAX train stopped near interstates 84 and 205 in Northeast Portland because of a power line down across the tracks, according to Portland fire.

And two Southwest Portland condominium units were damaged when a tree fell on them. Tyler said no one was injured.

Portland General Electric tweeted around 9 p.m. that people had made more than 160 reports of downed power lines.

The storm caused closures and delayed openings for schools and public buildings, hampered public transit and canceled dozens of flights to and from Portland International Airport.

Good news is on the horizon: Forecasters predict weather will shape up Saturday.

Portland's overnight low is around 34 degrees, according to the weather service, and the city will see a high near 46 degrees Saturday.

Portlanders can expect rain until 11 a.m., showers afterward and more rain Saturday night and Sunday.

Skiers and snowboarders making the trip to Mount Hood should see plenty of fresh snow Saturday: Forecasters predict six to 10 inches of possible nighttime accumulation around 6,100 feet at Mt. Hood Meadows.
