"I don't think anybody thought we were going to get shut off so soon after the other inconvenience-- so I think everybody is getting a little frustrated," said Mitch Stogner, Santa Rosa resident.
People on the road in the North Bay got a quick lesson in driving in the rain. They were taking it slow.
"It was like rush hour traffic in the morning but going south, so I didn't expect that-- so it took me a long time to get there. We couldn't see very well," said one commuter.
