COBB, Calif. – Hundreds of Cobb residents remained without power on Sunday afternoon due to an outage first reported earlier in the day.

The outage, first reported at 10:34 a.m., did not have an estimated time of restoration late Sunday afternoon, according to Pacific Gas and Electric Co.

As of 4 p.m. that the outage was impacting 582 customers, PG&E said.

PG&E on Sunday afternoon hadn't given a cause for the outage, but the storms and heavy rain had caused downed trees and lines throughout the county all day.

A number of small, limited power outages – said to only be impacting one customer each – were reported in other areas of the county on Sunday, including Clearlake, the Clear Lake Riviera, Hidden Valley Lake, Kelseyville, Lakeport, Lower Lake and Middletown.

Across the region, PG&E was reporting outages impacting thousands of customers due to the storms.
