PG&E power shut-offs cause long lines at Sonoma gas stations
Gas lines were long in Sonoma as people lined up to get fuel before the planned power outage.

SONOMA, Calif. (KGO) -- There was a run on gas stations Tuesday as everyone prepared for planned PG&E power outages.

SKY7 showed long lines at a gas station in Sonoma.

Officials told people to be prepared during the power shut-offs by filling up your car, which can also turn into an emergency generator when used with a power inverter.

Sonoma County is one of the many Bay Area counties affected by the public safety power shut-offs.
