OAK TREE INCONVENIENCES ZAYANTE RESIDENTS vs

ZAYANTE RESIDENTS WERE LOCKED INTO THEIR AREA (AT ZAYANTE SCHOOL AND EAST ZAYANTE ROADS) AFTER A LARGE OAK TREE CAME CRASHING DOWN IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD EARLY THIS MORNING. THE TREE NOT ONLY BLOCKED THE ROADWAY, BUT ALSO BROUGHT DOWN POWER LINES, LEAVING THEM WITHOUT ELECTRICITY. THE TREE ACTUALLY DOWNED 3 UTILITY POLES. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED BUT ABOUT 900 PEOPLE WERE WITHOUT POWER FOR MOST OF THE MORNING. PG&E CREWS WORKED FOR HOURS BEFORE POWER WAS RESTORED TO ABOUT 500 CUSTOMERS. THE REST ARE EXPECTED TO BE BACK ON LINE BY 8 P.M.
