A Pacific Gas & Electric employee watches over a tree that fell onto Wagstaff in Paradise that took out power lines on the way down during yesterday's mega-storm.
PG&E restored power after several hour, but Paradise Radio 1500 AM reported that at it.s most potent, the storm knocked out electricity to over 15,000 residents on the Ridge.
