Pink icons where a community has had the power shut off either entirely or in parts of that town thats something be exploring throughout our broadcast this morning as we get in closer some of these close to communities, one side of the street will have power the other side wont gets kind of the pending on where you are and these shuttles calm as theres an extreme high fire danger because of high winds and dry conditions. So one of the first to shut downs happen at midnight, the next round of Power Outages that blackout will start at noon today and thats what this next map. Heres illustrates its the areas in red that will be impacted by the end of the day today so the north they already has had power shut off, but look at the east bay hills, right right along the open hills and down in the south bay to the Santa Cruz Mountains in the diablo range all those areas will be impacted by Power Outages. Later today. Theyre part of phase 2 and what were told is that by about noon time today we should see the power there shut off and we have Team Coverage this morning was reporters posted in those areas affected the sausalito nap and san ramon you can see reporter standing by live. As well as in san jose where were awaiting a press conference to start at 7 oclock and well carry that live as soon as it happened before we get to all those live reports, lets start in the studio will head over john trouble in the Weather Center for the latest. On forecast guys and as you mentioned its those factors the windy conditions the dry conditions all the dry tinder that his time ofr that adds up to the extreme fire danger of today, a look out from berkeley were cameras situated actually under red flag warning right now you do see. The dry clear skies out in the distance now today into tomorrow, these red flag warnings in this extreme fire danger continues again its windy. Its dry and its going to be warm out there all these factors continue into tomorrow at tomorrows winds going to be Even Stronger, especially during your overnight hours weekend ahead looks good though with calming conditions now now is your time to prepare charges electronics. Well you can again as daryn mentioned our second round of Power Outages likely to go in effect around noon fill your gas tank in case you have to do make of them skate unplug appliances in case, theres a power surge once electricity does come back on freeze your water bottle so you still can can help cool you down and keep food cool in the event of a power outage now the strong winds. Very low humidity in the warm temperatures they all continue today after having picked up last night were going to see him again into tomorrow to your daytime highs a little cooler than yesterdays thats not going to make much of a difference and fire danger though its still very high most of your temperatures in the 70s, ive got the details on what its looking like right where youre at still ahead your forecast. Robin all right want to head to the north bay where the lights are out inside of the Robin Williams tunnel because of the pga knee. Power shut off. So weve heard from a lot of commuters at it is pretty dark inside. You want to keep that mind as youre traveling into and out of the tunnel reduce your speed the extra cautious and careful because it is hard to see once again the lights are out inside of the Robin Williams tunnel as you travel on highway one oh one so far that is the only tunnel thats from reported to be black or dark this morning. The caldecott is fine and the double slight tunnels find so far were checking the drive across the golden gate looking good at 19 minutes novato to the tolls but completely different at the bay bridge toll plaza we have a full house, minor accident westbound or Treasure Island here officially backed up into the maze so were looking at 13 minutes and growing to make it in james started. Thanks a npnow lets get back to the breaking news around robin was a reporters posted around the bay to keep you informed about where power is out and where its going to be out next and since its out right now in the north bay. Lets start there kron 4 Sarah Stinson live in sausalito with a look at conditions. Now sara. Yeah thats right. Theres over a 2400 pg e customers here in sausalito waking up with no power. It is very dark in sausalito not to mention when youre driving around. It is as dark as it is behind and me ive said you know usually its dark when i live in i cant really show think theres nothing the show everything is dark and its making for a very dangerous situation for drivers. Im at the intersection of bridgeway harbor drive. Stoplights are out but the trend the street lights are out and they actually at finally of a cop out here whos monitoring the situation. But take a look at this map so you can see adjust how many people are impacted as i said 2400 people. Just in sausalito without power than we have about 1200 in him or in city area and then in mill valley really just about over 800 people so a huge impact for people. Sarah fell area quite yet. But thats because this is just phase one of the power just due to pg es Public Safety power shutoff the number of people without power is only going to increase now face to is expected to start around noon today. So if you have power. It doesnt mean that you shouldnt prepare and get ready for your power to be shut off, especially if you live in the sausalito area it this body. Some places have power some people dont and that could get worse as time goes on and thats why were live out here for you. No i did did hear that pg e is saying even when they turn it back on you know as are saying they will on thursday, it could take up to 3 days to get actually up and running at certain businesses and homes take a listen. The first step that we take as part of restoration. After such an adverse event is to inspect every inch of our overhead electrical base to ensure theres no damage. There is damage. We identify the location of that damage. What that is bringing qualified personnel to be able to safety to the repairs and then continue with the restoration process. Very much understand. The inconvenience and difficulties such a power outage. What cause. And we do not take or make this decision lightly. I did just speak to a man who lives here in sausalito he says he did wake up without power. And it is a pain he said. He was prepared though yet flashlights ready, but that doesnt mean that its easy getting ready. But the flashlight trying to figure it all its very scary out there because of those traffic lights out people are speeding but he said hes taking slow him in the video we we have have shown you is that you can see people the stopping slowly looking both ways in the intersection where they drive. And theres other peoples who are just barreling through intersections you need to take its slow. And bridgeway which is where mollie stones is it is one of the only Grocery Stores in sausalito and they are open because they have power. They said that you know they woke up they guy here. Im grateful for that because they dont have a generator, but they have a generator on the way thats a one employee told me so they will be prepared if the power does in fact allow you can even see across the street. Next they have power as well so its very spotty and it can only get worse just because some people have power now doesnt mean its going to last for now live in sausalito Sarah Stinson kron 4. More news, yeah, thanks a lot of picking a voice she if you dont and if you dont have power have heart i might have the later your neighborhood for example is in a warning area. Lets what about all the schools. Yeah school has not been canceled, although u c berkeley and tire ah the old old school no classes we have a couple of schools in oakland to which yeah covered otherwise otherwise. Sarah wrong. Being a curse to send their kids to school to thats under district hopefully have gotten alerts make sure double check your email and the case your school has been closed in the last minute since late last night. We have more Team Coverage out there of course as we mentioned christine at Corpus Christi a teacher is also in the north bay for shes in napa right now with a look at how things are shaping up. Theyre good morning. Christina. Well good morning weve got a lot of traffic issues right here in the center of napa im here at highway 29 as well as highway to 21 the traffic lights here at this major intersection theyre all completely down meaning theres a lot of backed up traffic also a large amount of danger here in this area. Speed talked about 60 miles an hour here. Its a major thoroughfare for lot of people if youre kind of going northbound into the city of napa or youre taking highway to 21 into downtown napa meaning a lot of people are already in this arid area here right the top of 6 oclock we actually have california Highway Patrol officers, they are here in napa and theyre helping. You know control traffic right here at this major intersection but the entire city of napa as well as county is pretty much expected to be effected an impacted by this power outage. By pg e how ever what im being told by this the Highway Patrol officers who are out here directing traffic this morning is that actually. Is because of downed power lines and weve got actually caltrans electricians here on site were working to get this taken care of again this is what im hearing from california Highway Patrol officers i get to hear from. Possibly be an impact of the planned power outage ypg need. But right now what im hearing is that is a separate issue. I want to take you guys live here to show you some what age of this intersection to show you how crowded it is so just to give you kind of a wider view here and i know its a very dark. But this is the intersection again highway 29 as well as highway to hey we to 21 goes right here this is where people are going taking a right. Hand turn and if they are going that way thats leading to downtown napa and then where the cars are moving northbound and southbound that you can see those are people that are on a highway 29. Because this is such a busy intersection when i was driving up here around 4 oclock this morning. It was already a bit backed up. Now about 2 hours later, there is a ton of traffic i want to go ahead and show you some of that so what it can to left here youre going to see people that are driving north back and then people how found on 29 look at all of those light causing here for you. And this is something that has really built within the past our here. Now when i take the other way. This is now a look. And those are the people driving southbound on 29th all of those lights. Those people who are stopped those are people who are trying to go northbound into the city of napa there have been high hundreds of cars backed up all morning throughout the past few morning. As you can see theres a large large impact there. Now as they bring you back here to the intersection i want to show you a certain track. This is a. Caltrans struck this is the electrician who has been here all morning to find out exactly how this happened what happened and theyve been here trying to make some repairs. Again we are not 100 sure this is separate from the power outage. But we do know that caltrans is here on scene. Im hoping to get this 6 we dont know how long it is going to take but according to thl california Highway Patrol officers out here directing traffic theyre here for the long haul because this is such a major intersection and of course its still very early in the morning, so this is really not the worst. The traffic is going to be thats most likely going to happen in the next hour were so but because of these major backups and there are he theres already been a lot of honking out here and this is one thing that i do want to let everyone know when talking to officers they really said hey obviously is major thoroughfare. Everyone needs to go ahead and treat this as being a 4 waste and when they are driving. Imagine this being just a so normal fourway stop with normal stop signs top sides. We need to yield to the person on the right and those patrol officers i did speak with say even if its not just this intersection they are stuck it possibly year in another area in the bay area. Its been impacted by the power outage this could possibly happen to proceed with caution go slow and always you will to the person on the right. I now reporting live here in napa im Christina Tetreault crime. All right, thanks. A lot. Christine, a. Right, lets take a closer look at that map that we showed you when we visited both with sarah and christina in the north and this is the p g outage map. You may have difficulty accessing this map because its been on and off theres a crush of people trying to get to it so if you cant go to kron 4 dot com weve got links to it there weve also got images from it and other maps as well, but i want really exemplify the point that because your community is slated for power shut off or maybe the power is already shut off. It may not be across the entire town into exact as an example of that i want to zoom in a santa rosa. And as we zoom in youll see that yet there we are centering it up not all of santa rosas without power. If you take a look at the different areas in color, this orange area if you look at pg es legend, it represents areas where 500 to 5,000 customers are currently experiencing power loss, but these areas in hot pink our where p g has intentionally shot off all power to these communities and you can look and see areas on the east side of 1, 1, to santa rosa dealing with widespread power loss but areas on the west side. And thats kind of what were seeing so be really careful lawyer out there and again this is just phase one the north bay, the wider view the map shows that we dont have any Power Outages yet for the east pier, the south bay. But thats coming because thats all part of phase 2, and that should arrive sometime around noon today. And thats all part of our ongoing coverage throughout the day today. Daria yes, so lets continue that. Because about noon a 51,000 customers are expected to the added to the no power list kron fours will tran is in san ramon where a Public Resource Center is set to open today to help the community. If youre waking up in alameda and say Contra Costa County you still have power for now, but the clock is ticking on us pga expects to wipe out power to thousands of customers starting at noon and no word on when they will possibly restore power reason being they will look at the lines come thursday inspected to see if all lines are okay they are damaged still have to make repairs which is why theyre saying this is a flexible situation a very fluid situation and they want people to watch the news and look at their website. In the meantime there are many places available to you if you live in san ramon, heres 2600 camino ramon, this is in the bishop ranch parking lot. If you need to co here for power it should be available to you they have a support staff and they have services for you to get through this time when the power is out. Back to you. Much will now lets head to the south bay again our Team Coverage continues with kron fours the only a 7 yes, weve got more from that area she is outside of San Jose City hall. Theyre going to have a press conference at 7 oclock this morning. We only what we hope to learn. Well daria were hoping that well get a little bit more information from from the city what their plan is to keep things safe while powers out as well as what other resources that people can go to in case the power went out in their area you know because theres plenty of elderly people who depend on you know he the like an oxygen mask or something medical that requires that city well were hoping to find out the spots they can go to in and plug in and make sure that theyre safe and ok so thats whats expected around 07 00am so to now on our yeah hour from now and well carry that live to you in the meantime let me show you a map of some of the areas in san jose and the Santa Clara County area that will be affected today at noon. Having some of that power you can see that the map is pretty big. Around there and specifically talking about san jose. Some of the areas that that are going to get hit first, is probably East San Jose over there by the foot hills were the but hills area and also over and our in alum rock area excuse me and also over there in south san jose pg need is saying they are saying that this is the safest maneuver that they can do is buy. Shutting down the power. I hoping prevent any kind of fires because the conditions are just for because weve been mentioning dry the humidity is low and the winds are going to be high so all of that are perfect perfect recipe for a fire to break out so the genie there pat as well as cal fire theyre also doing a lot of work behind the scenes and preparing themselves. To you know doing things so they can prevent from any fires breaking out as well to try to pounce on them as quickly as possible. This is some of the other things that theyre doing must take a listen. Over bulldozers and hand crews, 24 7. Our reserve engines are all being staff those injuries that we use when break or go out of service were really moving some resources around right management reading is moving. Strike teams of engines and crews and bulldozers around the state to the win prone areas that are a little more susceptible. So you can see everyones trying to do prevention as much as possible and this is pretty drastic and this is going to be really hitting a lot of people hard we know that so definitely were really waiting to hear whats going to happen and this mayors conference and it will give it to you live as it as it happens. And then well get a little bit more information on what people can do in the in the city and in the county of santa clara. In case their power goes out back to you guys. Thanks a lot you only. Well in the east bay we have caltrans saying the called tunnel thankfully is going to stay open for commuters this morning, there was a worry. Late yesterday that maybe they to shut down the whole tunnel because the fans that keep the tunnel ventilated would be turned off power outage. But luckily they brought in generator, so theyre going use those to keep the lights and the fans running and also devil slide, same situation there was a worry that have to shut that down to however it looks like they brought in emergency generators in time so double slide is also available for your commute already had to do the same thing. Planning for months with pga name because they knew if the powers out they have trouble so theyre bringing in generators. They will be able to have portable generators powering the statis elevators escalators fare gates and s ticket machines of bart stations that might be impacted by Power Outages. The best way to find out if youre going to be impacted is to go to our website first of all kron 4 dot com because its got its up to date its not jam up a pg has been crashing. So come kron fours website for that and then cow on kron. Commercial free coverage of everything that happens from start to finish. Its all free. Were lifting the p wall right so that when you say you know you party house nor has it on your tv and you still have a cell phone and sla battery you can you can get the very latest from kron on and well be keeping you updated throughout the day because as we mentioned that the east bay the south they will have their power cut off. Later this afternoon. John well guys. See so many Power Outages and extreme fire danger today, ill be covering exactly what its looking like where youre at. And those windare gusting. How warm temperatures will get how dry its going to be thats all ahead your forecast. Be tracking your commute around the bay area still backed up at the bay bridge toll plaza traffics recovering from a crash noticof the carpool lanes are extra heavy. Plus the lights are still ouin the Robin Williams tunnel because of the pg e power there are those who will say that youre too fat. Too skinny. Too hard. Too soft. Too old. Too much. Too unexpected. Too limited. And to them we say too bad. Because at kaiser permanente, we believe that everyone deserves the right to thrive. We have some great new ideas that we want to present to you today. [son] who are you talking to . [son] that guys scary. The first item on the list is selecting a chairman forhe. For the Advisory Board whats this . As well as use the remaining. Child care options run out. Lifetime Retirement Income from tiaa doesnt. Guaranteed monthly income for life. Come back 6. 26, lets get a look at your forecast because that is one of the contributing factors to such high fire danger today. We have in addition last night of some strong winds into what was already a plenty of dry tender in some dry weather conditions across the bay area, future wind gusts regularly into a range of 20 to 30 Miles Per Hour. But your peak wind gusts getting as high as 40 to 50 Miles Per Hour and many of our valleys up in the north and east bay, mountain tops above 1000 feet susceptible to Even Stronger winds than that. Now that is the reason that any potential spark could resultn the rapid spread of a wildfire. But humidity being as low as it is also adds on to this look at this by the afternoon humidity falling well below 10 in areas like atlas peak now gone up to sonoma up to kelsey bill as well all you have to do is get below 15 for humidity and its already bone dry. Humidity falling even lower than that red contours on this map right here showing extreme risk of wildfire. You see around the napa valley on over into sonoma, some of our peak areas that could be seeing that extreme wildfire danger later today as well as in areas of phe east bay down into the Santa Cruz Mountains as well, red flag warnings as weve been showing you all morning long for each county in the bay with the exception of san francisco. Daytime highs today in the 70s and a couple of 80s. Rob all right. Thank you john a quick peek at one oh one to the mind the lights are out and side of the Robin Williams tunnel traffic tracker picking up on a little bit of slowing coming out of the tunnel, this is all related to the pjd power shut off so commuters traveling through they said yeah its pretty dark and scary driving through here so just be extra cautious the drive across the golden gate looks good 22 minutes nevado to san francisco. And a big backup at the bay bridge toll plaza spilling and to the maze will be back with more traff come try my really big chicken sandwich combo with two patties for 4. 99, or three for 5. 99, or four for 6. 99. Thats an amazing deal, jack hey, thanks, stanley. Ow. Wait, whats happening . Stanley youre deflating hold me, jack only at jack in the box. Two breaded chicken patties plus s and drink for 4. 99. Three patties for 5. 99. Or even four for just 6. 99. Four patties . Well, tickle my elbow no thank you. Try my really big chicken sandwich combos. Starting at 4. 99. Breaking news this morning which is the bay area blackout happening now affecting 800,000 pg e customers around various counties 34 counties throughout the state but here in the bay area all of the counties except for san francisco, either are affected right now or will be at noon today fact this map kind of shows you what were seeing in the north bay at the moment, each one of these pink icons indicate a community where the power is either entirely shut off or partially shut off kind of depends on where you are in that particular town. Were going pour this in more detail here coming up in just a moment, but news to say the entire bay area still under extreme high fire danger due to the hot winds and thats why this map shows you the air is it potentially will be impacted later this afternoon the east bay hills a south bay hills thats all part of whats called phase 2 with the power expected to be shut off around perhaps noon today and thats why were calling it the bay area blackout because it is black. Out there, especially at this hour Sarah Stinson has been in sausalito all morning long taking a look at the traffic in the problems with uh none of the lights working there, sarah whats going on right now. Yet still completely pitch dark here in sausalito a lot of people starting to wake up and coming to this Grocery Store and that mollie stones right off of harbor drive. People are kind of coming inside the Grocery Store like home. A lot of people just waking up kind of frustrated having to get ready in the dark theres about 2400 people just our customers in Justice Alito that are without power. Then you head over to marine city take a look at the map you can see theres 1200 customers without power move over to mill valley about 8 100 customers without power. People you know trying to make it work and if you do have power that could change because this is just phase one of the pg shut off of its very spotty like on one street where im even standing one side of the road has power and the other show the road doesnt so it is extremely spotty. We also have video you can see people driving. Well one person you stopping at the stop sign at the stoplight that is not even lit up, stopping intersection looking both ways and then continuing on safely well then you see another truck just barreling through the intersection not looking at all it is dangerous because im seeing a lot of people bike riding walking around. Have seen does have a flashlight on the front blinker on the back and so they are using safety precautions. I did speak to one man who woke up without power. He explains what its been like. A little spooky because theres ambient light. You know you street lights and everything i was prepared flashlights and all that stuff for my garage doors of battery but. Its a pain in the backside. Definitely a pain if youve ever gotten friday in the dark its its just not fun. I did speak to another man. Recently and he doesnt live here he works here and he wasnt even aware of the Power Outages, so hes a little in shock about all all this and how dark it is again, this is phase one sausalito is one of the first cities in the bay area to experience the shot midnight and then a phase 2 rolls around at noon today, so again if you have. Nows the time to go to the Grocery Store. See if you can get those candles flashlights water you name anything you may need because we dont know how long Grocery Stores will even be able to stay open. Again, im here to mollie stones one of the only Grocery Stores in sausalito and they have. Now but that could change and they are well aware of that to the generator on the way state they can stay open for people. So very spotty stay tuned, were hoping to get update on the numbers from pg im personally having a hard time with the website having it refresh and nothing is showing up so its been very difficult for people, especially for pg e customers. For now live in sausalito Sarah Stinson kron 4 news areas such as you were stirring people to our web site p gs site is crashing weve got the latest on kron 4 dot com. A working professional kind of guy a tuna. Canyon so he doesnt Pay Attention he got his source from just walking by the newspaper saw that there would be a power outage so use a little in shock he saw me out here so we asked whats going on. So you know a lawyer, everyones aware. As gene is trying everyone know not everybody is getting its impossible let. Everybody know and thats the big thats the big fear is something going to wake up and not know whats going so thank you sarah. How about the traffic nightmare. Caltrans decided that they were going to bring in generators keep the called the cat devils slide tunnels open. Because you know without power as were going to have to close down growers. Taylors sacking takes a look. Whatever. Our shut off happens. I hope theyre able to do it. A teen gave lives in lafayette in like many people in the area, hes been preparing for power shut off by p g something he wasnt prepared for though a major detour in his commute to work. Is that real and that. I would say i cant go to work that to get on my kids earlier tuesday evening. Caltrans said it was preparing for full closures of the county ca tunnel in contra costa and alameda counties in the land to settle along state route one in pacifica commuters like marcy roberson say shes never seen this happen in all 37 years, shes lived in morocco. I have not heard the call to cut tunnel being closed for these reasons. The seems like there must be another work around. Something were actively working on in regards to both of those areas to identify a are there opportunities for us to be able to provide potential backup generation. To those facilities so that we minimize the impact. Pg later told kron 4 news that he was able to get backup generators to keep the county caught and lantos tunnels open many are happy to hear the count of cod tunnel will now stay open. But frustrated by all the confusion think it says a. A tragedy and its an overreaction by pg e. In Orinda Taylor the kron 4 news. Our lets take a closer look at some of that pg e power outage map data that we see on the web site again a reminder. This is difficult to access if youre having problems go to kron 4 dot com weve got the same information here for you but i want zoom into a santa rosa specifically and just illustrate the fact that even though your town may be slated or is currently in a blackout situation. It doesnt necessarily mean the entire town is a impacted because as you look here on the screen. Theyve got several color. A poly gone is going on here some of them represent partial Power Outages, but the hot pink areas thats where were seeing complete Power Outages and they overlapped from time to time because it just rough ustrate the areas that are being impacted. But let slide the map a little bit more towards the center of the screen the other direction because i want to show you that on one side of highway one oh one, particularly on the east side weve got all the power just on the other side of one o on the west side that part of santa rosa is seeing full power. So really does depend where you are in your town. Now were going to see Power Outages later on for places like the east and the south bay so pay close attention watch kron 4 dot com let you know as best we can exactly which portions of your town are experiencing that power outage so keep it tuned. All all right james, lets go the east bay right now where at noon about 51,000 additional customers are going to be without power. Kron fours will tran is in san ramon with more on that. If you live in alameda and contra costa counties you might want to get your shopping done early in the morning. As you can see this shop is getting ready to open for the morning. Come noon, theres no guarantee they will stay open because thats when phase 2 of the rolling blackouts will be ken impacting about 80,000 people in those 2 counties. Theres no rhyme or reason one side of the street might be dark and the other side might have power. As far as the stores is up to them to decide if they want to stay open during the blackout. During the blackout there are many places available for people who need to get work done and dont have power at their home and sam ramon, off of 2600 communal ramon, there is a place available for people who need to come down there and get work done they have their service is available to you. Of course, this is a very fluid situation pg any they dont know when they might be able to restore power because even after this wind storm is over they have to go out check their lines and if theres any damage that will take time to repair. Back to you ok thank you will theyre only a couple saying theres no school today and lot of that might be in the dark this afternoon and theyre coming out of so we want to just update you quickly if you havent heard already if your child goes to either skyline high school. Or the east bay innovation academy, those classes have been canceled, however all other Public Schools in that district in its hard tell all other district well open this morning ever the giant to u c berkeley cal berkeley is closed incoming the campus open, but they have canceled all classes. So you know youre going to feel an impact either. Now were as you say later, what happens with all the schools like in your district are having school today. Well as in Santa Monica School and then at noon the power likely will go out so well see what happens with that. And of course are all these other ripple effect, maybe they didnt quite realize until the power outage was around the corner bar had a little bit of a heads up so they did they had a plan in place but if theres no power theres of the ticket machines were work at all those things work. Well theyre bringing in a backup emergency generators, so theyre going to keep at least at a minimal level the stations operating today for you to use so there will be Power Limited though may be so least the services up in an any news and we can we should also say called cut tunnel and double slide tunnel as styling any staying open because it brought in emergency generators there as well the best way to stay connected is was our kron on app because you dont have to have power. Youre like a tv or anything like that played into the law. You can take it on the go just make sure your cell phone is charged. Youve got news. Theyre streaming live stuff for example, you know when that happens we run it normally there is a fee for this but were all lifting a pay wall. So that all of the you know the bay area can get this for free so download the kron 4 mobile app now now. Before hit the road today and then when that new wave of outages happens at noon today youll be informed there you go. And of course were keeping an eye on the weather because thats going to be big thing Going Forward how long will this last when we get out. This fire danger weather. Unfortunately james we do have fire weather really kick into gear this afternoon lasting through tomorrow. The good news is red flag warnings will expire tomorrow night setting us up for what will be a better friday and saturday.
