    At a Wednesday media briefing, PGE president Maria Pope said the utility’s infrastructure suffered “catastrophic damage” from the storm and its aftermath. At the peak of the storm, she said, there were “well over 350,000 outages,” and many customers have lost power more than once thanks to post-storm ice bringing down branches and trees. She said workers prioritized elder-care facilities, hospitals and water-treatment plants but also are actively restoring residential power.
