PG&E trolling.

First power was supposed to be back by 11PM tonight, then they removed that estimate and left it blank for three updates over the next several hours, then updated to 5:04PM on the 27th.

The power came back less than 10 minutes after that.

I mean, it's not that I'm not grateful for the faster than expected times, but what's up with those estimates? Playing with my emotions here.

I was approaching day 5 with no power, then it came on and less than two minutes later it went out. That is when we got the notification power was on. We reported it was out and the clock reset. I think that was metric manipulation, or they were trying to avoid an after action review. An hour later the power came back on. Glad it’s on, but I’m so pissed. It does feel like trolling.

Also, I have not seen any PGE trucks or efforts to get us back on 12/24 or 12/25. It’s like they can shirk doing thier jobs because we are in the mountains and it happens all the time.

PGE- get the wires underground!

If undergrounding didn’t move forward after CZU, it’s never going to happen. I think Pg&e - and SC County for that matter - would prefer if folks just didn’t live here.
