Cold weather was believed to be the cause after power was knocked out to about 900 Douglas County PUD customers in East Wenatchee this morning.

The PUD says a power line came apart at a connection point, likely from the wind-whipped frigid cold, and that line fell, taking another line with it.

The downed lines at Sunset Highway and 23rd Street caused an outage that started about 4:30 a.m. Power was restored to all customers by 9:20, the PUD reported.

Traffic on Sunset Highway was rerouted for a short time while crews responded to the downed lines.
