A singular Fort Bragg resident is reporting they are experiencing a power outage after a vehicle struck a utility pole on Fort Bragg’s Pudding Creek road.
The PG&E Electrical outage map indicates the outage is affecting portions of Bald Hill Road, Country Road, and approximately one mile of Pudding Creek Road. The outage information indicates the outage began at 7:24 this morning and the power is not estimated to be restored until 6:00 this evening.
There seems to be conflicting information offered by the PG&E outage site with the outage description stating that only one customer is affected yet the area of the outage is colored yellow on the map which the key indicates means 50-499 customers are affected.
MendoFever has contacted PG&E’s 24-Hour journalist hotline to get an understanding of the situation and as of this report have yet to hear back.
