You can add 49ers star George Kittle to the thousands of Bay Area residents who have been without power during the recent storms that pummeled much of the state this week.
Thursday night, the 49ers tight end sent out a tweet saying he’d been without electricity since Monday.
Yo @PGE4Me I’ve been without power going on 4 days. A lil help would be appreciated thanks. Just trying to prepare for something this weekend

“Yo @PGE4Me I’ve been without power going on 4 days. A lil help would be appreciated thanks. Just trying to prepare for something this weekend,” Kittle tweeted, referring the 49ers’ NFC first-round playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday at Levi’s Stadium.
Kittle followed up that tweet by posting a gif of Fred Flinstone rubbing two sticks together with the caption, “Me right now.”

It’s been estimated that more than 100,000 PG&E customers in the Bay Area suffered outages this week because of downed trees and downed power lines.
Friday morning, PG&E tweeted back to Kittle to assure him and others that they are working to get the lights back on.
“We’ve got our offense, defense and special teams on this, George! We’ve got the power back for 2.4M people through the past two weeks’ storms, and we’re gonna get you (and everyone else still out) back as soon as we can!” said the note from the PG&E account.
