A power surge, followed by the lights flickering and going out occurred at the Clarke Broadcasting building on South Washington Street, forcing backup generators to kick in.

The electricity is out from East Jackson Street stretching along Highway 49/Washington Street and crossing over Highway 108 to just past Campo Seco Road down Lime Kiln Road. The width of the area is from West Sunset Street to just past and along Barretta Street.
