Wow, really? A whole day without power? This is actually gonna happen?


Wow, really? A whole day without power? This is actually gonna happen?

I went a day (well, 22 hours so I don't qualify for any compensation from PG&E) without power last month because PG&E is hilariously incompetent and understaffed. As was already pointed out, PG&E is predicting 5+ day outages for some folks.

They're talking about between 1 and 7 days without power. It is possibly going to start Wednesday. Napa County is reporting they expect a 5 day outage.


Nearly the entire state of Connecticut was without power in 2012 for a few days. Where we lived, city of 100k, we didn't have power for a week.


Went without power for a week in the middle of Manhattan after Hurricane Sandy. I lived on the 10th floor too and our elevators didn’t get restored for over two weeks due to the basement flooding.
