More Than 10K Still Without Power as PG&E Responds to Storm Outages
BREAKING: Almost 2,000 East Bay customers are without power.
More than 10,000 people remain without power in the Bay Area this morning, the bulk of them in the North Bay, as PG&E crews work to repair storm-related outages in the region. As of shortly before 11 a.m., PG&E was reporting 196 customers without power in San Francisco, 1,306 on the Peninsula, 1,884 in the East
Bay, 1,700 in the South Bay and 5,566 in the North Bay, according to utility spokeswoman Andrea Menniti.
The number, while high, shows some improvement from reports around 5:20 a.m. today, when more than 18,000 customers were suffering outages in the region, including 9,664 in Santa Rosa and 7,125 in Vacaville.
"We've made significant progress since then," Menniti said. "We have extra crews on alert and they've been responding to outages as soon as they occur."
