On this crossarm in the Stonehurst neighborhood, we see the two fuse holders in the distribution line that supplies PG&E power to Briones. Both are hanging open because the fuses are blown, probably due to vegetation falling across the lines during the stormy night. This line supplies 201 electric meters. Power was out for nearly 12 hours.
