PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – As an atmospheric river continues to slam the Pacific Northwest, several power outages have been reported throughout the greater Portland metro area Monday afternoon.

Powerful winds and record rain have already begun making their way through downtown Portland while the Columbia River Gorge experiences flooding and landslides.

Pacific Power is also reporting outages impacting just over 2,000 customers in the area, most of which were seen in Portland’s Montavilla neighborhood.
