Northern California’s electrical provider, PG&E, has indicated they plan to turn off our power again today, for some as-yet-to-be-determined period. Once again some combination of predicted wind and low humidity is blamed.
When pressed, it’s rumored they’ve indicated such precautionary outages will be the norm for perhaps 10 years. Supposedly, they expect to have their system “hardened” by the end of that period, so wind-and-dryness conditions don’t threaten utility-caused wildfire.
We believe we’re better prepared this time than we were before. I’ll let you know if that belief was justified.
