Bay Area residents, businesses, and utility providers are using the pause in a series of storms to make repairs and get supplies to protect against the next atmospheric river.
As of 10:30 p.m. Thursday, PG&E said there are 21,173 customers impacted by power outages across the San Francisco Bay Area. Power has been restored for tens of thousands of customers throughout the day, the utility was reporting 80,448 outages across the region as of 4:45 a.m.
Tostado said that one challenge in restoring power has been downed trees, mudslides, and saturated soils, which make more difficult for crews to work. While drier skies are aiding PG&E repairs for now, Tostado acknowledged that expected storms into next week may keep some customers without power for longer.
After San Francisco Public Works ran out of the high-demand free sandbags on Wednesday, Thursday the sandbags were back in supply. Residents can take five sandbags per address, these sandbags are available at the Marin and Kansas Streets gate while supplies last.
