Corcoran News: Fresno and Selma Power Outages October 21 Were Separate from Local Service

CORCORAN — OCTOBER 22, 2026, REGIONAL UPDATE. Power disruptions near Fresno and Selma drew widespread attention during Wednesday’s storms. Corcoran, in Kings County, should not be described as affected based only on neighboring-county reporting.

The primary Sanger News report documents PG&E outage-map information for Wednesday, October 21. One afternoon snapshot identified 14 outage incidents affecting a combined 9,702 customers in the Fresno and near-Selma area, most with a storm-related cause. Separate earlier power interruptions were reported in the Sanger and Clovis areas. These are historical reports; the figures are not a real-time October 22 outage count.

Does this confirm a problem in Corcoran?

No. The 9,702-customer figure in the source report referred to incidents across the Fresno and near-Selma area during one afternoon snapshot. It was never presented as a Corcoran customer count.

What Corcoran residents can do

For a specific Kings County address, check the utility’s incident number and current repair estimate, which may differ from anything reported in Fresno.

Where PG&E is the electric provider, check its official outage center or report an issue by calling 1-800-743-5002. Never approach fallen wires; leave the area and call 911 when there is an immediate hazard.
