SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- As the latest in a series of storms to hit the Bay Area continued to move south Sunday morning, PG&E worked to restore electricity to more than 20,000 customers who lost power.

A broken power pole that left around 8,500 San Francisco residents in the dark Sunday morning has been repaired, PG&E spokesman Joe Molica said.
