Are all NorCal posters without power?

[tyedyeto]

I talked to my daughter and she told me she heard 900,000 people are without power in NorCal.

She lives in the Sierra foothills and, so far, has power but many don't.

Please check in.

1. Most of the Bay Area has power now.

Not sure about the foothills, though.

[EFerrari]

2. Mine was out between about 3:30 am and 1:pm.

San Francisco.

[tularetom]

3. OK here in Mariposa Co.

had a couple of brief flutters but we never lost power.

[tyedyeto]

7. HI!

She's in Calaveras Co.

I lived for many years in Mariposa Co. (Greeley Hill/Coulterville area)

Spent many hours and days without power. One of the highlights of my life back then. LOLOL

[kineneb]

4. just fine here

Clear Lake area

but...the wind ripped my 10x12 metal awning off- it flipped it over the roof and it landed in the road in front of our neighbor's house!

5. Ours was on and off early morning to mid afternoon,

but right now it's barely even raining, and the lights have stayed on for hours.

In Sacramento, fwiw.

6. Um...

:spray:

You do realize that unless they have some real specialized set up, they can't see this?

:rofl:

[tyedyeto]

9. Yeah

Generators rule!!!!!




Had one for many years when I lived in the Sierras.

[hootinholler]

11. Even if you have the gen set...

You still need the other end of the link to have power too.

8. 11-3 we went without power on the coast in bay area. Its on now.

[CreekDog]

10. mine out from 9am-130pm (San Mateo County)

but nearby, most were w/o power all day.

my high speed internet and cable are still down.

[CreekDog]

12. 900,000 "customers" translates to probably 3 million people

When they said 500,000 customers in the Bay Area were without power, we are not talking people but households, thus, with a household size of say 3 on average, possibly 1.5 million were without power or a bit over 20% of the Bay Area's households.

On the peninsula between SF and San Jose, some 150,000 customers were without power at some point, possibly 400,000 people which is probably almost 50% of the population of the area there.

[Bennyboy]

13. never went off for me today...

I live by Sacramento....

[spiderpig]

14. Not this one...yet.

Though I drove home on some mighty dark streets where all the traffic lights were out.

[BrotherBuzz]

15. Sacramento Valley PG&E customer

I was out of power for three to five minutes total. My lights dimmed many times indicating someone on my grid went down. With the amount of local damage, I'm really surprised our power wasn't out for a longer period of time because it really blew stink today!

[Fiendish Thingy]

16. Parts of Santa Cruz still without power- but not my part n/t

[AndyTiedye]

17. Power Has Been Out Since Before 7 This Morning Here in the Sandy Cruz Mountains

They were saying on the news that we should expect it to be out all weekend.
We have been running the generator off and on.
Internet went out too, currently tethering to the cellphone to access the net.

[DRoseDARs]

18. Nasty snowstorm hitting the Sierra Nevadas; we've had heavy rain all day in Reno, now it's snow. n/t

[DRoseDARs]

27. Just got our pwr back in my part of Reno aftr 3 hrs; I shudder to think what NorCals r going thrgh.

It's funny how I jinxed myself posting in this thread earlier since the power went out a few minutes after. :shrug:

[SoCalDem]

19. My son has had his go off several times today, but as of an hour ago, they had power

the other side of the street did not :(

[davidinalameda]

20. I'm in Alameda

we've had power all day

[NV Whino]

21. Mine was out between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM

No power = no heat in my house. Not pleasant.

[Momgonepostal]

23. Wow, that stinks!

Is it cold were you are?

It's actually been warmer where I am because of the rain.

[NV Whino]

25. I cheated

Once I had checked on all my clients' houses, I chose the one that still had electricity and heat and hunkered down until 7:00 PM.

But in answer to your question, it was between 42 and 45, which is slightly warmer than it's been.

[Momgonepostal]

26. Brrrr! That's too cold with no heater

I don't blame you one bit for not hanging out at home

[Momgonepostal]

22. I'm in Stanislaus Co., and have had no interruption of power

It sure rained like crazy here, though, and was very windy to boot. I'm not surprised there are power lines down.

[walldude]

24. Pardon me but...

how can they post if they have no power :rofl:


Forgive me, I couldn't help myself. :toast:

[fed-up]

29. BINGO-mine came on middle of the night-tree took down power line 1 block away at 5:30ish am Fri nt

[trashcanistanista]

28. I'm in the foothills and mine is back on.

It was off most of the day.
