Map: Power restored in North Bay after PG&E power shutoffs

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- PG&E says power has been restored to the North Bay on Thursday following a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) that impacted 172,000 customers in 22 California counties.

When you consider that each PG&E customer represents about three people on average, that means more than 500,000 Californians were without power.

The map below shows where PG&E customers continue to experience outages. As you can see, the majority of Bay Area residents have had their power restored.


PG&E says the PSPS is due to dangerous fire conditions. The utility shuts off power amid high winds in an attempt to avoid sparking more wildfires.

About 23,000 customers in Sonoma, Napa, and Lake Counties lost their electricity this week for about 48 hours.

Here's a list of counties that were affected, according to PG&E:

• Alpine County: 572 customers, including 6 medical baseline customers, in unincorporated areas

While conditions were concerning, PG&E says they aren't expected to be as bad as the conditions during the 2017 Tubbs Fire. "This event doesn't have quite as much as we call it upper level support, we don't anticipate it being as strong."

"Seems like a here we go again kind of thing for me," says Pauline Overbay. Pauline and her husband Zac where one of the fortunate families in 2017. Their home made it but of the others in their neighborhood burned. Fast forward to this week. Zac and others have cleared their brush to protect their home. "You learn to be prepared after '17, everybody learned don't take it lightly," says Zac Overbay.
