Us folks in the power industry know why power lines go down...and it has nothing to do with high winds.

The wind mills do not work during low wind, high wind, when it is snowing ... do not charge up your electric cars .. as the wind mills can not keep up..

Our fire was the result of a tree branch traveling a fair distance and shorting a line.

Public Safety Power Shutdowns are a pain and are more a result of power commissions telling power companies what todo like investing in renewables instead of maintaining infrastructure.

On one of the fires I worked, I found a dead chipmunk with his head stuck in a hole. The abject terror it and people experience before such a death must be unimaginable.

However, if you directly asked me if I would go without power so my neighbor or anyone else could forego the terror of a large fast moving fire and or death I would gladly go without.
