Hundreds of thousands of Bay Area residents tossed out perishable food and recharged cell phones when their lights finally snapped on this winter after multiple storms left them for hours without power. For one tiny mountain community, the outages lasted much longer.
At the end of a long driveway off a narrow, twisty road through the redwood forest in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Betty Arnold, 75, endured outage after outage after outage. Twenty-two in total, she said, scrolling through the outage notifications PG&E sent to her phone.
