According to PG&E spokesman Jason King, a tree fell on a power line around 10:40 p.m. Sunday, causing an outage that affected 870 customers in Redwood City and Woodside.  In addition, a day care center in Redwood City was without power and running on a generator Monday morning, King said.
 
By late Monday morning, there were still 478 customers without power near Alameda De Las Pulgas and Goodwin Avenue in Redwood City. PG&E estimated that those people would have their power back by 12:30 p.m.

PG&E customers can check for electrical outages by city, county or zip code by logging onto the PG&E Power Outage Map on the company’s webpage. The map is updated every 15 minutes.
