Cellphones should continue to work despite the outages. Major cellphone providers that rely on PG&E's electricity said they don't expect the shutoffs to affect service because they will be relying on backup power.

"We have generators and backup batteries at the majority of our cell towers and all our switch locations to keep our network up and running if commercial power is lost," said Verizon spokeswoman Jeannine Brew Braggs in a statement. "And we are able to refuel our generators to keep them running."

However, Comcast said its internet service could go down if the power is shut off in an area and would be restored once power was turned back on.

Most federal, state and county parks are closed because of the fire risk.

PG&E opened community resource centers starting Wednesday with air conditioning, charging stations and bottled water. Each resource center has seating for up to 100 people and will only be open during daylight hours.

Here is more information including outage details, community resource centers and state parks:

North Bay

The North Bay was the first part of the Bay Area to experience outages, with the power out as of Wednesday morning for 10,183 customers in Marin County, 32,754 in Napa, 31,632 in Solano and 67,000 in Sonoma.

The good news, said one PG&E spokesperson, is that if you didn't wake up in these areas to your power off, then it's unlikely it'll be turned off later.
