375,000 lose power around Sacramento area as strong storm, winds wreak havoc

Sacramento Flood National Wear Service Calif Darrell Steinberg San Jose California

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — More than 375,000 customers lost power in Northern California as the latest powerful winter storm pushed through the region, elevating the danger for flooding and bringing intense winds that downed trees.

Wind gusts topped 60 mph in some parts of the Sacramento region, according to the National Weather Service, causing a massive loss of power. Utility officials have been working to restore power but said it will take time.

Pacific Gas & Electric, which has 130,000 customers without power, deployed 4,000 crew members dedicated to storm restoration, which includes their own personnel, contractors and mutual aid from Southern California and as far away as Wyoming and Canada.
