Additionally, thousands of people are in the dark as PG&E has turned off the power to prevent a wildfire.

The Red Flag Warning for the North Bay mountains and East Bay hills has been extended through Tuesday at 5 p.m.
A map from the National Weather Service shows the areas that are under a Red Flag Warning.
All cities from Santa Rosa, down to Santa Cruz and Gilroy are under a Red Flag Warning Sunday night.
