DUE TO THE power outage in downtown Port Angeles caused by winds, your Peninsula Daily News will be late getting to you Tuesday morning.

From about 9:10 p.m. Monday to when power was restored shortly before midnight, the PDN staff was without electricity — all computers and the press inoperative.

Normally by 11 p.m. the newspaper would be getting ready to print its final section of the night.

The Newsroom staff is now back at work, racing to put together the newspaper as fast as possible.

But we have lost three hours of production time, which will delay the entire delivery chain — from final editing of news stories . . . to putting together the pages of text and photos . . . to printing the paper . . . to the carriers delivering the newspaper to our subscribers and vending sites.
