The power problems lasted into the night at homes and businesses across the city. Gigi's Italian Restaurant in Northeast Fresno lost power for two hours during dinner. During that time, the kitchen staff used tea lights to prepare the meals. "I have a little bad eyesight, so I was getting so close to the pans, to see if it was boiling. Because we couldn't see if it was boiling or not," said Pino Borrello.
The weather also put part of the state's power supply in jeopardy. Wind and rain knocked down a high voltage line in Moss Landing that supplies power to path 15 on the valley's west side. People throughout northern California were asked to conserve energy until 10 p.m.
