Massive Power Outages Sweep Bay Area, Leaving Thousands in the Dark.
TL;DR Summary
Pacific Gas & Electric Co. reported that Tuesday's storm was the most impactful storm that they have seen in terms of customers out in a single day in the Bay Area since 1995, with 450,000 customers affected and at its peak, 367,000 were without power. Soil saturation in combination with high winds caused whole trees to uproot, toppling power lines and making roads impassable to PG&E crews. As of Wednesday noon, just under 80,000 were still without power in the South Bay and just under 35,000 without power on the Peninsula.
