Coinciding with the heavy rain, there was a report of a downed tree blocking the road in the 16000 block of Cobb Boulevard.
At Highway 175 and Adams Springs Road, there were rocks in the roadway at about 8:20 p.m. that were reported to be “larger than a doghouse,” according to the California Highway Patrol logs.
Pacific Gas and Electric Co. reported early in the evening that there were several power outages around Lake County, the largest impacting approximately 2,111 customers in the south county area.
By early Tuesday, most of the south county customers had been restored, with some smaller outages still pending resolution around Hidden Valley Lake, Boggs Mountain, Clearlake and Lakeport.
