Hundreds without power in Humboldt and Surrounding Counties

Submitted by admin on Wed, 03/05/2025 - 10:13am

Many people in Humboldt and surrounding counties are without power today due to the storm. According to the Department of Transportation, many roads have been deemed impassable. Plows have been pulled in the area, and a tow ban has been put into place. Multiple vehicles have been stranded, and clogged roads are making it difficult for emergency services to get to those stranded. Authorities are asking that people stay home today to allow for emergency crews to work safely.
