Last Friday in San Joaquin County, over 7,000 Pacific Gas and Electric Co. customers suddenly found themselves without power. It was a bit of a shocker, especially for about 5,000 folks in Stockton who got hit the hardest around 2:12 p.m.

The whole thing started around 1:47 p.m. when the outage was reported. Cue the uncertainty and frustration, right? But here's the cool part – PG&E, our local power heroes, quickly jumped into action and said, "Fear not, we'll fix it." They estimated that by 7:45 p.m., everyone would be back in business. Talk about a swift response!

Now, let's dive into the mystery – why did this power outage happen? Well, at the time, it was as mysterious as a detective novel. No one could pinpoint the exact cause. But, here's the silver lining – it turned out to be just a temporary glitch in the system. PG&E did their thing, worked their magic, and voila, the lights were back on before you knew it.

So, there you have it – a little unexpected adventure in Stockton. Thanks to the quick action from PG&E, it was a brief interruption rather than a prolonged inconvenience. Kudos to the power pros for keeping the lights on and the mystery short-lived!
