Power Outage Cancels College of Marin Classes
Power outage in Kentfield affects 100 customers.
A power outage that began this morning has caused the cancellation of classes at the College of Marin in Kentfield, school officials said.
The outage began at 6 a.m. when a large tree branch fell onto a power line, cutting power to more than 560 PG&E customers, utility spokeswoman Brittany McKannay said.
A crew was at the scene and had partially restored service by 2 p.m., but roughly 100 customers — including the College of Marin — were still without power, McKannay said.
