PG&E power shut-offs possible Sunday and Monday (Oct 11-12) in northern California

[Auggie]

Pacific Gas & Electric Co. said Thursday that fire-prevention power outages were possible on Sunday and Monday in northeastern California and parts of the Sierra foothills.

The utility issued a public safety power shut-off “watch” for those regions, meaning that outages are not certain but the weather indicates that they may be necessary. The goal of the outages is to prevent power infrastructure damaged by winds from sparking wildfires.

None of the nine Bay Area counties are included in the watch. PG&E said the main areas of concern are “the eastern portion of Tehama county as well as Butte, Plumas, Yuba and Sierra counties.”
