Arnold, CA...The local power outage situation has not improved from last evening and in some areas the outages increased. The outages are widespread and in some cases PG&E cannot even access the damaged equipment to start repairs. Lets hope the break in the weather on Saturday and Sunday will allow PG&E and other utility companies such as Comcast to get the necessary repairs made to their systems. As of this morning Amador seems to be fairing better that Alpine, Calaveras or Tuolumne Counties. The Images are North to South from Amador County to Groveland.

Posted by: thepinetree on 01/29/2021 05:36 PM
Stockton, CA...We wanted to provide an update on power outages as we are through the worst of the storm. The good news is that we haven’t seen the massive outage activity that we had predicted, particularly in the lower elevations of Calaveras County and the Highway 26 area. There are almost 8,000 customers out in the upper Highway 4 area, from Arnold to Bear Valley due to wind and snow related damages. PG&E crews are very early in our process of assessing damage, so we are not able to provide good estimated times of restoration yet. I will keep you posted as we know more, and of course please reach out if you have any questions.
