PG&E initially estimated that the time of restoration would be around 10:45 p.m., but after crews began working on repairing the equipment failures, they said they expect power for most to be restored by around 10:15 p.m.
As of 10 p.m., most of the power was restored, but around 1,000 were still without power.
