LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Thousands of Lake County residents were out of power on Wednesday and into Thursday as the result of the powerful winter storm hitting the region.

Pacific Gas and Electric Co.’s online outage center included a map that showed many areas of California were impacted by outages as a result of the stormy weather.

In Lake County, small outages ringed the lake. There was an outage impacting 581 customers in Clearlake that began after 8 p.m. and 154 customers in Clearlake Oaks that began at around 6:30 p.m.

But the largest outages were in Kelseyville and south to the Cobb, Hidden Valley Lake and Middletown areas.

Those outages began on Wednesday afternoon and evening, and affected several thousand residents.

As of 3:30 a.m. Thursday, PG&E had not given estimated times of restoration for the Lake County outages.
