Clean up continues after storms blow through

It's now been one day since massive storms blew through Kern County Sunday evening. These storms resulted in downed power lines, power outages, flooding and uprooted trees throughout the county. 

PG&E says 20,000 customers were originally impacted when the storms hit Sunday evening. They say within 12 hours, 95% of those homes were restored. As of late Monday afternoon, 650 customers remain without power. PG&E is not sure how long it will take to get those customers' power back.

One of those customers is William Norris. He says even though it's a holiday weekend, he expects his power to get fixed. 

"We pay over $500 a month during the summer. You would think they could get out to your home a little quicker," said Norris. 

PG&E did say the holiday weekend did not affect how many crews were out fixing power lines.
