LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Heavy snow and downed trees contributed to numerous power outages across Lake County on Thursday night and early Friday.

Tens of thousands of Pacific Gas and Electric customers were out of power by early Friday morning as a result of the winter weather conditions, according to the company’s online outage map.

The majority of those outages did not have estimated restoration times or causes.

Late Thursday, the power went off briefly in Lucerne twice before going off and staying off for a third time shortly after midnight.

Radio traffic on Thursday night and early Friday recounted downed trees or trees into power lines across the county. One fallen tree on 11th Street in Lakeport blocked both lanes of traffic shortly at about 11:45 p.m.

PG&E is urging its customers to be prepared for outages. Tips for preparedness can be found here.
