PG&E Warns of Possible Bay Area, Central Coast Power Shutoffs because of Heat, Wind Conditions
PG&E said 3,083 Monterey County customers and 2,017 in Marin County have been notified as hot, dry and windy conditions raise fire risk.
- On Wednesday, Pacific Gas and Electric warned thousands of customers across 10 California counties of potential public safety power shutoffs lasting until Thursday evening due to dangerous weather conditions.
- PG&E meteorologist Evan Duffey reported that a ridge of high pressure over Oregon is driving offshore wind flow while suppressing the typical marine layer recovery that usually moderates fire danger.
- The utility notified 3,083 customers in Monterey County and 2,017 in Marin County, while 75 customers in Alameda County, 70 in Contra Costa County, and 33 in San Joaquin County also received notifications.
- Outages could last up to 20 hours with restoration estimated for 10 am Thursday; officials in Marin County reported possible shutoffs in Mill Valley, Kentfield, and San Anselmo, while residents can call 211 for emergency support.
- These alerts follow recent PSPS events this fire year, while businesses in San Francisco's Sunset District are planning a lawsuit against the utility regarding power outages that occurred last month.
