Storm cuts power to thousands as rain, wind, tornado threat hit Bay Area, Central Coast

Over 150,000 customers lost power in the Bay Area and Central Coast while San Francisco experienced its first recorded tornado warning over the weekend, as a storm with wind gusts of more than 80 mph moved through the area. 

By about 2:45 p.m. on Saturday, PG&E had restored power to a significant number of customers, but over 65,000 customers were still without electricity at that time, according to PG&E spokesperson Jeff Smith.
