Will cell service stay up in the event of a power outage in Northern California?

PG&E has floated the possibility of a major power cut in Northern California this week. Realistically, if a multitude of counties lose power, will cell phone service continue to function for the duration of the outage?

    Unless the cell towers have also backup generators, when their backup batteries have gone flat, there will be no cell service.
