Portland and Eugene were both hit hard during the storm, while Salem made it through with just a few small outages. The utility said its restoration effort handled 524,600 customer outages over nine days, with a peak of 165,000 customers without power on Jan. 13.

Getting the lights back on took 1,800 workers, including mutual assistance crews from Washington, Idaho and California.
