California Mayor Mike Staton said that power was restored to most California residents by Sunday night, but there is still a large clean up process ahead.

"This next week will be clean up," Staton said. "We've got trees, branches, limbs and stuff all over town. We got lucky, there's really no structural damage around town. It's just going to be a lot of clean up."

As of 8:30 p.m. Sunday night, 793 customers were without power in Pulaski County, according to poweroutage.us. By 10:30 p.m. Sunday night power was restored to more than 500 customers in Pulaski County and 229 were still without power.
