Update: Lingering Power Outages In The Mother Lode
Update at 10 a.m.: The last of the nearly 5,000 power outages sparked after the storm system passed through on Thursday has been repaired. It impacted 58 PG&E customers in the Bumblebee area off Highway 108 above Strawberry in Tuolumne County, many who were without power since Friday night. The utility reports just a handful of single outages scattered across the Mother Lode, which they hope to have power restored to by the end of the day.
