The power outage situation in Sonoma County is improving. Yesterday morning, around 20,000 customers were still without power. While Sonoma County still has the most outages in the state, this morning that number is now down to under 6,000. Most are still in West County, but there are still considerable outages along the Sonoma-Napa County Line.
