I wonder if it is windy on Nov 3, 2020, they will turn off the power to 800,000 Californians?
Most of the time with three days of Lights Out it was dead still for a little while yesterday it got Breezy and the TV stations were all in on it talking about all these high winds.
Listened to music on the radio even the DJ would say the high winds witch weren’t.
See the last sentence.
Good article. Thanks.
Here is a good citizen reporter, just tells it like it is, Talks about how the media keep blaming climate change for these shut offs when it is as simple as aging and neglected infrastructure. Just a report from on the ground in N. Cal.

I found this guy showing progress on Oroville dam. He is a professional pilot and does videos every time there is a plane crash with much better information than you can get from the news. Today he put this one out... he seems to be mostly prepared.
I wonder how long it will be before something major breaks after being shutdown and re-started and shutdown and re-started and shutdown and......? Big machinery doesn’t always behave well when subjected to such treatment.
Eureka/Humbolt County is rural...
the big cities will behave much much worse, imho
(be prepared)!
only leftists could implement policies that end up forcing power to be disconnected due to wind, at the same time that windmills would be working their best ...
I know a Stanford egghead who thinks water is a greenhouse gas.
There has been electrical power in CA for 100 years , and most of the early years the lines were way cruder and less safe, the lines survived many seasons of droughts and wind storms but now all of a sudden its a safety hazard ? BS
One of the few cogent articles on what is happening here, and what caused it.
The only important point missing is the fact that we are two years into recovering from an 8 year drought.
That recovery takes at least 10 years of normal precipitation.
And something has to be done with those 10s of millions of dead trees. But it looks like nature is taking care of that.
Big forest fires.
Apparently it was the Spotted Owls fault. We had to do something.
But what to do. What to do?
How about cutting way back on both the lumber business and the clearing the underbrush in our forests. That will fix it. We will save the Spotted owl.
I wonder how the Spotted Owl did in the huge Northern California fire earlier this year.
Well, at least Californians won’t be shocked by the current news...
..Unless they have generators
The fires will be easier to spot after all the lights go out?
when do the food shortages begin?
PG&E did the right thing.
