"The tree blocked the roadway in the 200 block of C Street, knocking out power to the Gerstle Park neighborhood, where PG&E says nearly 700 customers are affected. PG&E is currently on the scene and working to repair its infrastructure. Due to significant damage to the power lines, there is no estimated time for repairs to be completed."
"The power outage has affected intersections and reduced visibility. San Rafael Police say motorists should avoid the area around Antonette Avenue for now and cautions drivers to treat intersections without working signal lights as a four-way stop, as required by the law."
A large tree fell onto power lines overnight Wednesday in San Rafael's Gerstle Park neighborhood, blocking the roadway in the 200 block of C Street. The incident left nearly 700 PG&E customers without power. PG&E crews responded to the scene to repair the damaged infrastructure, but significant damage to the power lines means no estimated repair time is available. The outage has affected traffic signals and visibility at intersections. San Rafael Police advise motorists to avoid the Antonette Avenue area and treat non-functioning traffic lights as four-way stops.
