An October windstorm knocked out power to around 3,000 customers in a northern swath of Capitol Hill near Volunteer Park Saturday night.

The outages were part of a series of service disruptions around the city leaving more than 20,000 without power.

The largest outage surrounding the park was reportedly caused by a downed branch or tree. A smaller outage knocking about 600 out had a reported restoration time of after 11 PM. City Light estimated a midnight or later restoration for the larger outage.

The outages followed an increase in the night’s gusts around 8 PM. Winds on the 520 bridge measured above 60 MPH.

Around 8:04 PM, wires were reported down on 20th Ave E.

The National Weather Service says winds could continue through 2 AM:

UPDATE 10/27/2014 9:45 AM: Seattle Parks tells us there isn’t a longterm prognosis for the big Cal Anderson maple that lost a massive branch during the weekend storm. The tree, which provides a big landmark and some much needed summer shade in the southwest corner of Bobby Morris field, remains mostly intact. The fallen section will be removed by a work crew during the day Monday. A fence in the area was also damaged.
