PG&E says number of residents without power still over 20,000 in latest update
The storm that barreled through the Bay Area on Saturday disrupted power to almost 31,000 PG&E customers, the utility said.
By 9:30 p.m. Saturday, 21,663 were still out, spokesman JD Guidi said in a press release.
The most heavily affected area was the North Bay, which saw 19,906 interruptions from tree limbs and other debris falling into power lines and damaging equipment, according to the utility.
The company said 698 customers lost power in San Francisco, 4,657 on the Peninsula, 4,605 in the East Bay and 1,121 in the South Bay.
At the height of storm, about 216,000 customers were without power across the utility's service area in northern and central California, PG&E said in the press release.
"PG&E crews and resources are responding safely and as quickly as possible to storm-related outages," the utility said. "There are approximately 5,700 personnel involved in our storm response."
"This response includes staging power poles, powerlines, transformers and other electric equipment in key locations throughout our service area to restore power to affected areas safely and as quickly as possible."
