The storm brought strong winds that toppled trees across the Bay Area.

A pedestrian walks underneath broken utility poles while walking on the sidewalk along Ygnacio Valley Road in Walnut Creek, Calif., on Monday, Feb. 5, 2024. A large tree toppled over because of the high winds last night causing several utility poles to break and closing down Ygnacio Valley Road. The work of replacing the poles is estimated to be completed some time around 10 pm to midnight tonight.

On Thursday, those impacts continued. At least three schools in Sonoma County — Horicon, Kashia and West Side Union elementary schools — were closed Thursday due to either power outages or downed power lines near the buildings, according to the Sonoma County Office of Education. He apologized to customers and framed the wind and rain as “the largest single storm producing multiple customer outages in nearly 30 years.” As a result, 5,000 total employees — including 533 crews — were working to address the lingering blackouts.
