The weather seems to be easing up on the winds.
There were wind warnings at my elevation for another 3 days from last night, from NOAA.
We had big winds come in yesterday afternoon and evening but tapered off around 9pm.
The warnings on the NOAA site are down and wind forecasts are much less for the next few days.
I bet the PGE power will come back on for many today or tomorrow.
That may be true locally, but part of what I heard is that the power is out in Humboldt because the transmission lines further south are shut off.
From this: https://gacc.nifc.gov/oncc/predictive/weather/7Day.pdf, I’d guess we’re off until at least Friday.
Your probably right, thanks.

Reminds me of that scene with Snake Plitkin in the final scene from Escape From Los Angeles, where the world loses power for the near future. Or the original The Day The Earth Stood Still, where the price of Earth not getting “obliterated” was the loss of electrical power.
Check out Asimov’s “Nightfall”, very relevant.
El Paisano Mexican Taqueria in Fortuna, Sting’s Creek Plaza is open today 10-9-19. 🙂
NEWSFLASH
Politicians/corporations/dominant along with many alternative media news sources do not provide accurate info. Oh, and there is no tooth fairy either.
Thus for the few who possess sufficient brain muscle to research beyond headlines, a starting point consisting of basic and mostly easy to verify facts ..
http://mediaarchives.gsradio.net/powerhour/hr2100919.mp3
News flash you are in the wrong thread.
Get out
While you can…
aw so sad your feelings were hurt to find out weather had nothing to do with it
Mariposa Market in Willits is open and has power. they close at 7pm and will open tomorrow at 8am. http://mariposamarket.com/
The person I spoke with there believes all of Willits has power.
Round Valley (including Covelo) has had un-interupted power so far as of 5:50p Wed.
I believe communities north, south and east of us are without power. Makes me curious about how the grid is organized. I also wonder how much this pattern may be a direct result of profit motive driven manipulation, or an indirect result of drastic safety measures chosen partly for safety.
Branscomb Center / Radio Shack is open with regular service and regular hours. We had a good day today.
Aren’t generators great!
generators are noisy and smelly but useful in situations like this, but golly gee, my solar panels were rocking today as every day.
Yes generators are great we all need more creativity and originality….
But I have to point something out from above
“ Sheriff – Patrol remains fully staffed and stable. ”
I must say , we know their fully staffed ( we’ve seen the lines of SUV’s huddled together popping mom and pops all over the county in a single day , and we’re paying them so , the issue I have is with the latter statement, no one in a law enforcement uniform is stable ! Or else they would be home taking care of their own shit and not jealously bullying the locals that want to stay home and take care of their own shit!:)
Proper Wellness Center in Eureka is open 9am to 10 pm
Deerhorn Market in Phillipsville had a good day on the generator today. Accepting cash, credit cards and EBT.
We will be open our usual hours 10am – 8pm again tomorrow.
We have ice, flashlights and batteries. Also check out our growing selection of organic foods. We appreciate being here for you.
Power returned 30 minutes ago, just before 2 am (Table Bluff area, just north of Loleta).. It was a good emergency drill for me and family.
