Mylar balloons are to blame:
About 11,500 homes in El Cerrito, Albany and Berkeley were without power this evening after Mylar balloons drifted into power lines, Pacific Gas & Electric officials said.
The outages were first reported about 7 p.m. and were ongoing at 9 p.m., with two locations in El Cerrito identified as the sources.
The metallic balloons, popular during graduation season and outdoor celebrations, can cause surges and short circuits in the power lines.
