PGnE had a max of 187,000 customers out. Current outage level is less than 60,000.
SF experienced a major substation outage at 8 am this morning but it was restored.

Storm hits socal tonight. Im landing in sac currently. Not too bad. SF had about 40% of flights cancelled today, including all regional jet flights.

The word from South Bay is no major issues but apparently 17 looks like Niagara Falls

No major flooding in Pleasanton. But going between Pleasanton and Fremont on 84 was fun. Lots of flooding on the roads and of course people doing stupid things while driving.

Seemed over hyped IMO. Lil windy earlier and some decent rain, but nothing as bad as people were talking about.

I grew up near buffalo. So I'm more than a little amused about the panic levels

Default Steady rain

It wasn't too bad here in the Valley near Stockton. Started with high winds on Thursday and steady downpour ever since. Had to clean out the storm drain out front and now the PG&E drain off is filling up due to the steady rain.

I believe it was 'over hyped.' Looks like the rainy days back in the early 80's when it would rain for weeks at a time.

Just reached here. Actually looking forward to whatever it does out here to some of our favorite trails. Rain just started here a few hours ago and doesn't appear to be that bad at this hr. Wind has picked up but.. that is the AV. We get nervous when the wind stops around here because no one knows how to drive without tacking. LOL.
