Original story: Stormy weather knocked out power to nearly 1,500 PG&E customers in Berkeley on Sunday evening, with downed trees and power lines reported around the city.

As of 5 p.m., 1,467 customers were without power, according to PG&E's outage map.

The main outage seemed to be concentrated in central Berkeley, with a smaller outage in the southeast corner of the city.

The 2400 block of Stuart Street saw several weather-related hazards, with a house fire, a fallen tree and power lines down as well.

Berkeley Fire crews were stretched thin and called in help from Albany, Oakland, El Cerrito and other agencies as reports stacked up during the height of the storm.
