Tahoe area sees 100-mph gusts

The ferocious winds arrived as predicted in Northern California, fanning the flames of the Kincade Fire in Sonoma County and leaving well more than 2 million residents without electricity in PG&’s territory and causing blackouts in Sacramento, too.

The blackout has affected more than 2 million people and is expected to last up to 48 hours.
