What to check now

• PG&E Outages page: Sign up for outage alerts and view current outages by area. This is the most authoritative source for real-time status and restoration estimates. [Outages & Safety - PG&E]

• Local outlets in the Bay Area: Local TV and newspaper sites often post live outage maps and restoration estimates during significant events. For example, Bay Area outlets frequently publish outage coverage with area-by-area details. [KTVU PG&E outage coverage]

Likely patterns you might see during large events

• Restoration prioritized for critical infrastructure (hospitals, water, telecom) before residential work.
• Ongoing updates as crews work, with estimated restoration times updated frequently.
• Multiple phases of outages in the immediate region, sometimes including neighboring counties.

Quick illustration (how to read an outage map)

• Map shows shaded regions by color intensity indicating number of customers affected.
• Clicking a region reveals the number of customers and an estimated restoration time (though these are fluid and change as conditions evolve).
• There will usually be a “sign up for alerts” option so you get notified when status changes.

If you’d like, tell me your exact ZIP code or neighborhood in Santa Clara, and I can provide targeted guidance on where to look first and what restoration windows are commonly reported for that area. I can also help you interpret any outage map screenshots you have.
