More than 125,000 Pacific Gas and Electric customers lost power across Northern and Central California amid stormy weather overnight that saw some wind gusts above 100 mph in some areas, the utility said Wednesday morning.

That includes hundreds of PG&E customers in west Sonoma, Mendocino, and Marin counties.

PG&E officials said crews had restored power to nearly 10,000 of the affected customers as of 9 a.m. Wednesday following the storm that arrived late Tuesday night.

Heavy rain and strong winds battered the region, with peak gusts of 109 mph measured near Humboldt, more than 91 mph near Big Sur, and more than 84 mph near Santa Cruz, according to PG&E.

Crews set to work to restore power to more customers during the day Wednesday before another storm is expected to arrive in the overnight hours Wednesday night into Christmas Day on Thursday, according to the utility.
