PG&E Addresses Storm-Related Power Outages In Sonoma County

SONOMA COUNTY, CA — PG&E crews are tackling storm-related power outages Tuesday across Sonoma County, a spokesperson for the utility said.

"Although the number fluctuates ... there are about 1,642 customers without power right now in Sonoma County," PG&E Spokeswoman Deanna Contreras said in an email at 11:57 a.m. Tuesday.

The largest outage is impacting 916 customers in Rohnert Park, according to Contreras. The outage started just before 10 a.m. Tuesday and initially impacted approximately 1,500 customers. Some were restored by 11 a.m., she said.

Other smaller outages are impacting customers with addresses in: Bodega, Bodega Bay, Cazadero (power to the Middle School has been restored), Geyserville, Gerneville, Monte Rio, Petaluma, Sebastopol and Valley Ford, the spokeswoman said.

The PG&E local emergency center in Santa Rosa was activated Monday in order to respond to storm-related outages in Sonoma County safely and as quickly as possible, according to Contreras.

"That also allows for full staffing, as it’s all-hands on deck, and equipment and trucks ready to roll to make repairs and turn lights back on," Contreras said.

Flood and wind advisories — and a flood warning for the Russian and Napa rivers — remained in effect Tuesday for the North Bay counties of Sonoma, Marin and Napa, according to the National Weather Service's San Francisco Bay Area office.
