Once again, our power was cut off. Last time on Thanksgiving day, this time 2 days before Christmas and we’re huddling under blankets, If a fire came our way today, we put it out with the icicles on our noses and those hanging off of our house, because it’s going to go below freezing tonight. No heat. Our old 67 and 72 year old bodies are shivering as we wrap presents to lantern light. They say it’s again due to “fire danger”. But we know better. It’s cloudy outside and looks like rain and again, while my power is cut off as are my immediate neighbors, the folks across the street have power. They must not want to keep them safe from fire danger. Down the street at my sister’s ranch they had full power. But on the other side of her ranch they had no power. So, again, this insistence that they turn the power off for our safety is ludicrous.
Earlier Wednesday morning, SCE officials began to receive several reports of a power outage throughout Canyon Country, in areas mostly north of Soledad Canyon Road from Whites Canyon Road to Deep Creek Drive.
After investigating these reports, officials estimated that approximately 10,261 SCE customers had been impacted by the Canyon Country power outages.
Reggie Kumar, a spokesperson for SCE, later confirmed that those outages were actually related to PSPS, but were miscatagorized in their Outage Center system.
When a PSPS is instated in any of the monitored areas, SCE officials say that Community Crew Vehicles and Community Resource Centers will be made available to support customers in impacted areas.
