Jessey Hightower Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Savages. We suffer the same randomness here. They dont care that without power, our well dependent town has no water. We installed a generator to power the ranch at no small expense just so our well can pump and we can save our food. We usually get outages in the 36-48 hour duration regularly.

Pat Riot Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 We have been lucky where I live. We have Edison power and they are really good about keeping trees cleared from power lines and they are constantly maintaining their lines and poles. When I lived in Elk Grove up by Scaramento PG&E wasn’t exactly real concerned about things when there were power issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 It was only off about three hours. Not too inconvenient as we have two generators. No word on why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Wait until all-electric vehicles become mandatory and see what it does to the power grid then. There will also be people calling work saying they can't make it in today because their car is down to 5% battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can bet he and his Hollywood/liberal elite buddies not only have power all the time, but lush green manicured lawns as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it Miss Allie lives in the Sierra Foothills, I don't know who her provider is. A lot of the Foothill and mountain areas in N. California are under a Red Flag fire warning. I live in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County. We have power go out 2 or 3 times a year just due to trees falling, people hitting poles, or transformers blowing. Her description sounds more like a physical problem with equipment rather than a Planned Power Outage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Is there some kind of codes that prevent whole house or portable generators from being installed or used. I realize that whole house generators are expensive, probably even more so in California but as much as the power companies pull the plug on ya'll....I'd want something.

We have a Generac propane whole house generator and a smaller gas Honda 6500 that we use at night or when we don't need the A/C. I also take the Honda for my trailer.
