Residents in Door County are hopeful they will be able to get power to their homes by the weekend.

As of Friday morning, Wisconsin Public Service was still addressing outages in Baileys Harbor, Egg Harbor, Ephraim, Gibraltar, Jacksonport, Liberty Grove, Sevastopol, and Sturgeon Bay impacting 544 customers. That is a significant improvement from Thursday when over 4200 customers in Door and Kewaunee counties after a December storm blew through Wednesday night into Thursday with winds gusting at over 60 miles per hour in some parts of Door County. WPS said in a statement on Thursday that they have restored power to over 90,000 customers so far, though warned that customers may have to wait days for their lights to come back. While some of the over 19,000 customers still without power may have to wait multiple days, the WPS power outage map shows many customers could have theirs back by late Friday night. WPS says they have crews working around the clock to restore power as quickly and safely as possible.

Door County Dispatch took 12 calls Thursday related to trees and wires down.
