They hope to have this area back up by 00 08pm tonight. But were not sure youll just have to wait and see. Gas stations in lafayette without power closed for the day though some employees were still called in to prepare for when the businesses can reopen.

Most everything west of the Police Station down mount diablo boulevard was closed chain restaurants and pharmacies and off the beaten path, mom and pop stores that stayed open despite the outage shape that is nobodys going be. House to one oak long owner of suu kyi fine bedding and gifts gave it a try while also pledging support for p g m e and the Power Companies reason for the shut off live to so and they. Choice throughout the day Lafayette Police and the Contra Costa County Fire Protection district responding to spot fires. Like this one near the city offices. It was knocked down before firefighters arrived a break for First Responders because of the windy conditions and the strong potential for small fires to turn into big ones really fortunate fortunate not only that the fire didnt spread. But that a Grocery Store was open. Thanks to a generator. Trader joes stayed open and it was consistently busy all day it was really great lights are on air conditioning is on actually im meeting someone and the park in and were going to go that restaurant closed. So we picked up a solid trader joes and despite all 5 campuses losing electricity. The Lafayette Unified School District kept all of its schools open for the day i think its terrific. More time in school the better overall parents supporting the decision students felt safe in the classrooms. The hope is that the shut off doesnt go on too long. The city offices were closed those and outside in near the generator. Stating pga me begin the process for storing power to neighborhoods at noon.
