Gusty winds in the Bay Area overnight have left tens of thousands without power, according to a PG&E spokesman.
In the Santa Cruz Mountains area about 26,000 customers were without power as of 1:30 a.m., spokesman JD Guidi said.
As of 9 a.m. Thursday morning PG&E released new information about the number of people without power in the Bay Area.
About 22,670 people were without power in Santa Cruz County, 4,990 people in the North Bay, 570 people in the East Bay, 310 on the Peninsula, 35,60 people in the South Bay and there were no reported outages in San Francisco.
A majority of the outages are wind related, according to Guidi. Extra crews are out to restore power, but with the high number of outages not all restoration times are available.
