WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — As of Thursday afternoon, 24,000 people across the Greater Sacramento region are still without power from the winter storm that blew through Tuesday night into Wednesday, according to a spokesperson for PG&E.
The hardest-hit areas were in Davis, Woodland, Fairfield, and West Sacramento -- all of which have now spent two days in the dark.
"I don’t think I’ve ever worn this many layers inside the house! It’s just very chilly in there,” Pam Jewell, a West Sacramento homeowner said.
While neighbors work to help clean up a massive tree that fell in Jewell’s front yard, she’s just worried about how to stay warm as her power has been out since 1 a.m. on Wednesday.
“Since I have not had electricity, I just cleaned out who knows how many dollars worth of groceries out of the refrigerator, and I had just stocked up on things in the freezer and I’ve thrown quite a bit of that away," she said.
It’s a similar story for most neighbors living near Jefferson Boulevard in West Sacramento like Yianni Kazanis.
“I mean, this has just kind of gotten ridiculous at this point,” Kazanis said.
Both he and his wife are working remotely and their two kids are also supposed to be doing distance learning from home, now, in the dark.
"I’ve logged onto the PG&E website several times and it actually listed that my power had been restored but it had not. So, the lack of information has really been the most frustrating part of this," he said.
Here's what PG&E told ABC10 about that issue.
"We know that you don’t have power even if the map says you do, and we are working hard to get out in the field, make the assessments, make the repairs, but know that we know that you are without power," Megan McFarland, a spokesperson for PG&E said.
And in order to help get the lights back on just a little faster, PG&E is bringing in 33 crews from out of state through a mutual aid agreement.
"The good news is our crews have gotten out into the field, they’re making assessments, they’re making repairs -- repairing some of the storm damage that occurred over the past day or two -- and they’re getting the power back on for our customers," McFarland said.
