Nearly 900 customers in the East Kelowna area have lost power. An electrical storm that swept through the Central Okanagan early Monday afternoon is believed to be responsible. According to the FortisBC website, 863 customers in the McCulloch Road area lost power around 6:45 p.m. There is no indication when power might be restored. While crews deal with downed lines in East Kelowna, the Kelowna Fire Department is dealing with a gas leak in the Clifton Road area. A natural gas line was also apparently knocked out during the storm. There are no indications of the seriousness of the incident.
