Live Wires and Downed Tree Close Westgate Drive and Knock Out Power to 841 Customers
Westgate Drive is closed near Hilma Drive south of Eureka after a Cypress tree fell taking out a power pole and blocking the roadway around 2:30 p.m. on February 7.
PG&E has been requested to the scene due to live wires across the roadway from the broken power pole. A report from the scene stated that the roadway would be closed for an extended period of time while PG&E attempt to clear the roadway.
Residents in the area should use caution in the area. Ridgewood Drive is accessible on both the north and south ends of Westgate Drive.
The PG&E Outage Map reports that 841 customers in the Humboldt Hill and Pine Hills areas are without power. There is no estimated time of restoral.

Pine Hills? No such thing. The area shown as Pine Hills on the map is actually Ridgewood. Pine Hill (no “s”) is Northwest of Ridgewood.
