News - StatesmanJournal.com: "The damage that tandem storms caused to power and phone lines along the Oregon coast was worse than initially thought, but progress was reported. Qwest said Wednesday night it had completed repairs on its main fiberoptic system on the north coast, restoring telephone, high-speed Internet and other services. But spokesman Bob Gravley said some work such as reconnecting individual residences remains to be done. Other recovery continued. Cell-phone service was being restored. People left shelters, with the Red Cross reporting about 370 remaining Tuesday night."
