Nearly 100,000 PG&E customers were still without power across the Bay Area as of Tuesday morning, most of whom live in the South Bay and along the Peninsula.
As of 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, 52,911 PG&E customers in the South Bay and 19,053 customers along the Peninsula did not have power. In addition, 6,143 in San Francisco, 7,414 in the North Bay and 8,221 in the East Bay were also without power.
Those outage totals are significantly higher than they were Monday evening, according to PG&E, because of an overnight weather system that brought lightning as well as wind gusts of up to 70 mph to the region.
Just 10,703 PG&E customers were without power as of 5 p.m. Monday.
