Going outside has been hazardous due to flying branches and other material so most are staying inside. The high winds have scattered debris over the entire area.
The downed power pole is located between Maple and Alder and is affecting homes in that area since 10:30pm last night. PG & E is on scene and actively working to correct the problem.
All of Laurel Circle is currently without power since 6:30am this morning. This outage may be related to the utility crew working on the downed pole, though this is unclear.
PG & E is aware of the problem.
