NORCAL POWER OUTAGE VOL THE APOCALYPSE STARTS?

[SORIANOTRON]

The deadliest fire in California happened in November last year.

So you telling me cutting peoples power is the only way to stop POTENTIAL brush fires?

HELLLLLL NAHHHHHHH

 

[danikerhino]

The only person I had to worry about is my dad in Concord. Me, my mom, and my brother are good over here in the city.

 

[nawghtyhare]

There ain’t no ****ing wind blowing
It’s not even hot
Don’t see why power is cut off
They cutting power off at night right now

 

[nawghtyhare]

Man it’s some conspiracy **** going on
No reason for power to be off

 

[thapointguy]

Ours getting pushed back. Some say 5 then 8 then 10 then now midnight. I better wake up to power.

 

[SORIANOTRON]

Imagine how much money PG&E will save during all this

 

[360waves]

I know LA isn’t affected but nobody is really talking about it here. Best wishes to those who are up north!

 

[Nawzlew]

Power just went out at midnight.

 

[nawghtyhare]

They saying it’s an experiment
And there’s someone .................something
Lurking in the areas where the power is out
Be safe

If anyone wants to switch over to solar so they aren’t affected by this mess in the future, hit my PM I have a buddy who can get u setup.

Its outright disgusting what lengths they go to to save their butt.
People should protest in front of the executives home everyday the power is off

I’m honestly surprised this isn’t bigger news/outrage. I live in Portland now, but am my family has been telling me about it. That utility company along with Comcast have been and always will be crooks. Glad I don’t have to deal with either anymore.

It isn’t about safety, it’s about them preventing lawsuits from not wanting to spend money on properly taking care of their infrastructure. It’s a joke

 

[nawghtyhare]

Now they saying a wildfire burning in moraga

 

[Fozz]

I was planning on making the trip up North this weekend too.

Good thing we changed our minds.

 

[gentrification]

This is some Enron ****. They did this back in 2000 2001

 

[thapointguy]

Luckily we've been in the clear. Was windy this morning though but no shutoff. Some are getting power back on so hopefully everybody else get theirs back soon. Can't imagine living without power for a few days/week.

 

[Barbados Slim]

Wonder how much food is going to rot because of this

 

[Nawzlew]

I just got my power back.

 

[picasso swerve]

How long is it suppose to be off for?

 

[Nawzlew]

How long is it suppose to be off for?

It's mostly clear now, but no one actually knows. PG&E was basically dicking us around for the past couple days.

They said potentially 5-7 days (starting yesterday).

Hell this could happen again a week from now.

 

[dhart48]

In Concord and NOT affected. I do a couple of days of retail a week and people have been coming in nonstop asking for generators for the past 2 days. People coming in and buying lamps/lanterns, flashlights, batteries etc.

I didn't think we would be affected in the first place but put gas in the wife's car before the rush. Lines are CRAZY.

5-7 days??? Wtf I figured it was like 2-4 hours.

All your food is gonna go bad to say the least. Y’all better go up and riot at that power company. That’s insane.

Like are you supposed to shower for work by candle light and eat hard tack?

Like you said, they’re lying.

It’s not like you got work tomorrow with no power. Better go raid that power plant like Area 51.

Even if it was hot and windy fix your bum *** power so it doesn’t start fires. It’s not the customers problem so don’t take it out on them.

 

[Thats My Word]

PG&E stays getting blamed for whatever natural fire disaster in CA, so they just said **** it and shut everyones power off. That’s basically what it is about.
