5 p.m.:From Hood River County Office of Emergency Management: HOOD RIVER COUNTY WARNS RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES THAT LANDLINE PHONES REMAIN OUT OF SERVICE IN GORGE
Hood River County warns residents and businesses that Century Link phone lines across the Gorge in four counties Hood River, Wasco, Skamania and Klickitat - have been out of service, with some partial intermittent restoration.
Your phones may not be working – county phones are not. All County of Hood River phone services are affected – landlines and office lines are not operable. Email is active and most cell service remains operable.
The outage appears to be a result of Century Link equipment failure; Century Link is working diligently to reinstate these services. They will be working the rest of the day and night to reinstate services as quickly as they can.

If the line is busy, please call again.
