For what it is worth, this is what PG&E is showing on the outage map. http://www.pge.com/myhome/outages/outage/ - looks like from Seaside through to and including the Highlands. If you are looking for gas, the Highlands store is still pumping as they are on generator.
Thanks, Lisa

We got power back in Carmel at 10:00 am.
Glad to hear it, Mike...a couple hours earlier than predicted. That's always good.

It is 12:45 pm and the power has not been restored.
(Back on as of 1:15 in this part of Monterey.)
We are in the Laureles Grade area of Carmel Valley, and PG&E is now saying estimated restore time is 11:00 pm...ugh.
We are the power, the light and the warmth. Especially when we come together!
