NEVADA CITY, Calif. — Around 2,000 customers are without power in Nevada City Wednesday morning, according to PG&E outage maps.
The outage started around 1:33 a.m. and there is no estimated time of restoration. PG&E's outage map says the initial determination is the outage was caused by weather but the official cause is still under investigation.
