OH NO!!
I had a medical appointment in SF tomorrow afternoon.
So northern humboldt’s historically has been shut off, or was to be part of the shut off, because the two lines to the grid are somehow compromised, despite the fact that it may be pouring rain in Humboldt.
The one near the 299 was not used because there was blasting scheduled, the blasting never happened by the way.
The one near the 36 was shut off because that area was windy and is fire prone, even though northern Humboldt is not fire prone.
Anybody know?
