Happened to me in wine country. Not only are we in the flat lands, our neighborhood power lines are underground. One block away, our neighbors, with overhead lines, had power. How crazy is that? At the time PG&E had no way to selectively regulate shutdowns other than affecting very large areas of service. This was two years ago. They've since rectified the issue. Sorry to hear you'll be without.
