High Winds Down Wires in Mountain View

Rain and high winds spread over Mountain View on Sunday night, causing windowpanes to rattle and leaving many without power.

Throughout the evening and into Monday morning, Pacific Gas and Electric crews responded to scattered reports of electrical outages throughout the city, according to spokesman Jason King.

At this time, 34 customers between El Camino Real and Fremont Avenue near or on Grant Road remain without power, King said. PG&E expects to have power restored to them by 2 p.m. This includes the El Camino Hospital area and homes along Bryant, Levin, Eunice, Sleeper and Martins. This outage was caused by the high winds, which downed a wire around 3:50 a.m.

Overnight, hundreds of people slept without power in the dark.

At 3:37 a.m., 168 customers had no electricity. It was restored to them by 8:12 a.m.

Two separate outages began at 11:55 p.m. Sunday night. One impacted 173 customers and another 194 customers. Power was restored by 4:46 a.m. and 1:20 a.m., respectively.

PG&E will reply to Mountain View Patch with the cause of the other power outages.
