The large-scale power outages that occurred in Akita Prefecture from the night of the 7th due to strong winds were almost eliminated by the night of the 8th.
In Akita Prefecture, a storm occurred mainly on the coast due to the influence of the developed low pressure, and a large-scale power outage occurred over a wide area of the coast from the night of the 7th.
According to the Tohoku Electric Power Network, a total of 66,982 households had a power outage, but as a result of proceeding with restoration work, the power outage was generally resolved around 11:30 pm on the 8th.
The Tohoku Electric Power Network believes that the cause was a strong wind or something blown by the wind that caught the wire and cut the electric wire, and that it took a long time to recover because of a power outage in a wide area.
In addition, even after the power outage was restored, the power outage occurred again in some areas, and restoration work is underway.
