Power Out in Blue Lake, Fieldbrook Road Closed After Truck Hits Pole

UPDATE, 9:56 p.m.: PG&E says that 1,883 customers are without power, and they they currently expect to have things back on at 12:45 a.m.

###

Blue Lake residents have been pinging the Outpost with a fury in the last quarter-hour, saying that power is out all over town. The LoCO’s BlackoutBot hasn’t quite keyed into the situation as of this writing, but when in does you’ll get estimated times of restoral at that link.

The cause seems pretty clear, though — looks like a Ford pickup hit a pole on Fieldbrook Road, putting the lines down into the street and closing traffic in both directions, as of right nowl
