Shaver Lake News: Valley Outage Reports After October 21 Storm, No Local Shutoff Confirmed

SHAVER LAKE — REGIONAL UPDATE, OCTOBER 22, 2026. Power disruptions in the Fresno Valley on October 21 prompted regional questions for foothill and mountain communities. The available reports, however, do not confirm any outage in Shaver Lake.

According to Sanger News, the California58 local newsroom following the Fresno County incidents, PG&E’s outage map showed a combined 9,702 customers affected in 14 outages across the Fresno and near-Selma area during a Wednesday afternoon, October 21 snapshot. Most of those cases were attributed to the storm. Earlier in the day, separate outages were reported in the Clovis and Sanger areas.

Those figures are historical observations, not proof that the same customers remained without power on October 22. PG&E may restore one circuit while continuing repairs on another.

Was Shaver Lake affected?

The underlying reports do not establish a separate Shaver Lake outage or customer total. Shaver Lake’s mountain terrain differs from the low-elevation Fresno and Selma service areas. An interruption in eastern Clovis or around Sanger cannot be presumed to have affected lakeside or mountain customers.

How residents can follow conditions

For mountain residences and cabins, plan for varying road, weather and utility conditions. Report outages to your own provider and never rely solely on a valley city’s estimated restoration time.

Customers can consult the PG&E outage map and the reporting line 1-800-743-5002. Stay clear of downed wires and report immediate hazards to 911. PG&E’s separately published October 22 Public Safety Power Shutoff forecast did not anticipate a planned PSPS on this date; that does not rule out accidental storm-related outages.
