While the Bay Area saw some sunshine on Friday, thousands of people in the region were still without power following the latest batch of storms.
PG&E says the latest storm was very destructive in the South Bay. While the utility has made while progress in getting the lights back on for the more than 140,000 customers without power earlier this week, it's been a frustrating and confusing time for customers still in the dark.
“You have a whole community here that doesn’t have power,” explained Julian Hawkins who lived there. Hawkins said earlier in the week thousands of people in the area were without power. As of Friday evening, more than 150 PG&E customers near Summit Road were listed as being without power. "For me and my wife, we have a generator, we've invested in solar to cope with this, there are other people here that don’t have the money to do that,” Hawkins noted, explaining that this is outage is especially difficult for his neighbors who are elderly or have medical issues.
