Facebook post from Caltrans:

U.S. Highway 101 is fully closed just north of the Leggett due to a  downed tree and power lines. Caltrans crews are waiting for PG&E to  reach the scene and de-energize the power lines so the tree can be removed. There is no detour, and the highway may be closed for a few  hours.
