More than 3,500 PG&E customers in Berkeley experienced power outages Thursday night as a result of strong winds and storms.

Outages took place across several different regions in Berkeley, according to the PG&E outage map, including the Berkeley Hills, northwest Berkeley and southwest Berkeley. As of 10:45 p.m., there was no estimated restoration time for the outages, according to PG&E spokesperson Jacqueline Ratto.

In the Berkeley Hills the power outage began about 7:19 p.m. Thursday and was originally estimated to be restored by 10 p.m., but was still ongoing as of 10:20 p.m, according to the PG&E power outage map. In southwest and northwest Berkeley, the outages both began around 9 p.m., according to the map.

Ratto said PG&E is working to make sure that community members are safe and that power is restored as quickly as possible.
