Power Mostly Restored In Danville

DANVILLE, CA — Power is restored to all but 216 customers in Danville and Alamo as of 5:40 p.m. Monday.

Roughly 5,000 customers were without power in Danville and Alamo as of 9:40 a.m. Monday, according to PG&E. 3,500 were without power in a huge stretch west of Hartz Avenue and near Osage Park, and 3,523 were without power in Alamo and Walnut Creek combined. The powerful atmospheric river drenching most of the state is likely behind the outages, according to PG&E.

The outage began Sunday at around 4:30 p.m.

More than 143,201 customers were without power across the Bay Area as of 4 p.m. Monday due to heavy rains and winds. The North Bay remains the hardest hit, with 52,707 without power, according to Bay City News. Just 5,955 customers in the East Bay were without power as of 4 p.m.

The Danville Police Department warned that traffic lights and street signs were not functioning due to the outage. Drivers should use caution, and treat intersections like a stop sign in that situation.

The town saw winds of up to 74 mph Sunday evening, but just a handful of downed trees and no injuries were reported, according to a town statement.

Still, more rain is expected Tuesday and Wednesday, though it is not predicted to be as intense, and the sun may peak through at points during both days. Winds are not predicted to go above 8 mph, according to Accuweather. The city is no longer under any National Weather Service alerts or watches.
