While the recent winter storm in many ways reached historic proportions, the Marquette Board of Light and Power says it rode it out pretty well.
Sean Siebert is the utility’s Distribution Director. He told RRN’s Caleb Gordon that the storm cut a wide swath, making aid from other utilities uncertain. But in the end, the outages that they did encounter were handled hings tin a relatively quick manner.
