Thousands of people are without power across the state as heavy rain, flooding and winds batter the region.

According to PowerOutage.com, as of 10:30 p.m., 7,175 customers were without power statewide.

Most of the outages are affecting Puget Sound Energy customers, with 2,364 without power.

Chelan County has a similar number of customers in the dark: 2,041.

On Wednesday, at the height of the strong winds and rains, more than 13,000 people were without power in Washington. During that time, half of the outages came from Chelan County, around Leavenworth.

What to do in case of a power outage

The best way to prepare for a power outage is to make sure you have everything you need before a weather system hits.

Have batteries and other alternative power sources available to meet your needs in the event of a power outage, such as a portable charger or power bank. Have at least one power bank pre-charged and ready to go so you have something handy.
Have flashlights for each member of the household.
Have plenty of non-perishable food and water. Usually during storms like these, power is restored within at least a day, but it’s good to be prepared.
Keep freezers and refrigerators closed. The refrigerator will keep food fresh for approximately four hours. A full freezer will maintain temperature for approximately 48 hours, Loan.gov advises.
Generators and fuel should always be used outdoors and at least 20 feet from windows, doors and attached garages. Always connect the generator to appliances equipped with heavy-duty extension cords. Allow the generator to cool before refueling. Fuel spilled on hot engine parts may ignite.
