October 2019 PGE Power Shutdown (Updated Saturday Oct 12, 12 pm)
Submitted by alanf-admin on Tue, 10/08/2019 - 11:31The PG&E outage map is showing that nearly all power has been restored, with only one 10-customer neighborhood on Socrates Mine Road shut down, and another 10 on Grange Rd south of Hidden Valley Lake due to 'damaged equipment on a power pole' (both predicted to be up by 3pm). A few individual houses are reporting outages where the area has been reactivated.
This will be the last update.
Lake County is currently recovering from a PG&E "Public Safety Power Shutdown"
The studio has power and is in full operation, including streaming.
We have resumed normal programming, except that replays of shows during the power shutfown will not be available, so we will use older shows from the archive.
KPFZ will cover the power shutdown recovery as we receive updated information.
A few areas still have no power (Bottlerock Rd, Upper Lake, Middletown south of Twins Pines) : PG&E is currently predicting these will all be restored by 3 pm Saturday.
Lake County News has a report on the recovery status.
