“Chronicle links to the PG&E system. The outage map is managed by PG&E.”
You never leave the Chronicle site.
You are right! I guess I didn’t click on the Chronicle link and mistook the provided link for the official PG&E site. Interestingly, the Chronicle site provided my address info instantly.
It looks like the Chronicle site is somehow mirroring the PG&E site...or maybe the map is being hosted on Google by PG&E and others are put it up as theirs.
