A Red Flag Warning forecasting high winds and conditions prime for wildfire is expected to darken tens of thousands of households throughout the 24/680 and rest of the Bay Area from Sunday night through Wednesday morning.
Pacific Gas & Electric Company officials announced Friday they will be cutting power to tens of thousands of households in 38 counties across northern and central California including Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma. San Francisco appears to have been spared.
Officials offered cautionary advice for residents who may find themselves in the dark. Customers who want to pinpoint if their home is among the residences expected to be blacked out may enter their address on the utility company’s outage map.
On again – off again. Might be off – won’t be off. There’s a certain amount of sensitivity fatigue setting in, I hope it doesn’t come back to hurt us.
Can I get that yeti before Sunday night????
That’s between you and Jeff!
I can’t afford a yeti. The old Coleman will have to do.
As long as it works for you we’re for it!
Waiting for the anti california anti Newsom rants…. three two one.
I would love to hear a persuasive argument that the state of California has managed its fire policies well or regulated PG&E effectively? 3,2,1…
At least I have some time to hit the liquor store before the lights go out.
As long as we’re not charged for being left in the dark right? Right?
Solar panels deployed captain.
This is great. Now I don’t have to buy a plane ticket to visit a Third World Country.
Yay.
Fortunately, there is an episode of the Twilight Zone from 1960 that covers what to do in precisely this situation.
Hey! How come your lights are still on and everyone else’s are out?

Anyone want to be they call it off?
