THREE RIVERS — OCTOBER 22, 2026, REGIONAL UPDATE. October 21 power interruptions were reported in the Fresno/Clovis/Selma area northwest of Three Rivers. This neighboring regional event is not a verified interruption to Three Rivers power service.

The primary Sanger News report documents PG&E outage-map information for Wednesday, October 21. One afternoon snapshot identified 14 outage incidents affecting a combined 9,702 customers in the Fresno and near-Selma area, most with a storm-related cause. Separate earlier power interruptions were reported in the Sanger and Clovis areas. These are historical reports; the figures are not a real-time October 22 outage count.

Does this confirm a problem in Three Rivers?

No. A mountain gateway community may have very different weather, terrain and electric infrastructure from lowland Central Valley neighborhoods. The reports should stay tied to the actual service areas.

What Three Rivers residents can do

Anyone preparing for a trip toward Sequoia National Park should verify park and road status separately; this electricity story makes no claim of a park closure or facilities outage.

Where PG&E is the electric provider, check its official outage center or report an issue by calling 1-800-743-5002. Never approach fallen wires; leave the area and call 911 when there is an immediate hazard.
