In addition, there haveĀ been power outages reported in both Tuolumne and Calaveras Counties. PG&E reports that 4,412 customers are without electricity in a region stretching from Phoenix Lake over to Soulsbyville, and even into parts of Tuolumne. There is also an outage impacting 102 customers near Confidence. You can call 1-800 PGE 5000 to report an outage, or to try to get information on a specific neighborhood.
