Chp described it to me as they are playing a little game of hide and seek with this elephant seal. Chp officer is here with me. Tell me, how is this going so far . Who is winning . Right now, the elephant seal appears to be our big thing right now as much as we dont want her in the roadway, our concern is that she is consistently try to get back out onto the roadway. Right now, we are looking to get her into some sort of contraption and out of here safe. What im looking at right now, as i can tell you, as you see every now and then, a head pop up, a little bit like a loch ness in this area off of highway 37. We are now joined also from the marin mammal center, barbie how alaska. Tell me, how does this happen . Is the seal just lost . It appears to seeing hes a little bit lost. The closest place they would like to go is probably up north to point reyes. Reporter not highway 37, i take it . Correct. Its very unusual to be on this side of the bay. Reporter does it tell you that this seal is potentially sick or theres something wrong with that . Its unknown right now, when she was out on land, her overall body condition was beautiful, very healthy and good body weight. She just might be a little bit lost. Reporter thanks. So we are on a bit of a standby for an elephant seal who probably, you know, is maybe a little bit smaller than my fiat. Im curious, its a sunset and will be dark soon, how long are people out there on standby to get that elephant seal before it wanders onto highway 37 to get struck by a vehicle . Reporter i think they want to make sure that it does not happen. Are you planning to stay here all night . We dont know right now. Our main concern is that if it gets dark, we dont want her getting back onto the roadway. Our goal is to get her to cross the roadway. She is continually trying to get out and cross the roadway and our concern is we dont want it to get dark, have her cross the road, the vehicle comes along once traffic freeze up and hits her. We are pretty committed to staying here until either she swims back out or we get her out of here. Reporter so we have a little bit of the stand up here. Chp versus the elephant seal. And, nobody is going anywhere right now. All right, noelle walker, reporting live for us tonight. Thank you so much. Backed out to our top story tonight. It was a cold night as you know for thousands of people in the state in particular, 6200 pg e customers in Discovery Bay lost their Natural Gas Service yesterday morning. Tonight, many of those customers still dont have their service back on. Ktvus tom vacar joins us now with the latest numbers and all this. Tom . Reporter the very latest numbers, i got them about a minute ago, are about 2800 of those 6200 have been reconnected. 2800 out of 6200. But the pace has picked up substantially, because that is 1000 more than an hour ago. At that pace, most of those folks should have their service back very, very soon. Pg e crews are liberally swarming Discovery Bay right now to reestablish service to every resident they can reach in person. Sunday morning, 1 00 a. M. , 6200 Discovery BayPacific Gas Electric customers lost their Natural Gas Service. Pg e set up Warming Centers here at the timber Pointe Elementary School and the Discovery Bay community center. But, there were few takers. We went and got a couple of portable heaters so we can keep the rooms warm that we were in. And, it helped some. We were still put a cold last night. Reporter all day, the slow, laborious process of restoring service has been underway. Originally reported to be completed by 5 00 p. M. A lot of it has to do with when people are home. We need people to be home in order to make an to restore service. So, its going to depend when people get back from work. Reporter in order to reconnect 6200 people it takes a small army, in this case, an army of 200 pg e technicians going to each and every customer in the outage area , making sure that they are re hooked up properly. We want people to know that it is not safe to relight their private life. That is something that should be left to pg e. Reporter nonetheless, people who know how to relight their pilots do just that, providing pg e with a bit of a boost. We just turned the gas back on ourselves. In fact, the whole neighborhood did the same thing. These guys have got enough stuff going on. Its not that big of a deal. Reporter a day and half later, the precise cause remains elusive. We are still looking into exactly what happened. We did replace some equipment at a regulator station. As a precautionary measure. Reporter though the outage inconvenienced many and angered some people, most people seemed to have taken it in holiday strike. Actually praising the massive pg e response. Icon chances of what we needed, concerned about is being called. They are attentive. But answered everything they could answer for you. Reporter now, when those folks return home, they are going to find a placard on their door with a phone number. There are plenty of pg e crews standing by to reconnect them as quickly as they possibly can. Reporting live from Discovery Bay, tom vacar, ktvu fox 2 news.
