Because of the high fire danger. Yeah in fact look at the map the areas in purple or what you want to be focusing on because those are the areas impacted by these power shut off. Lets start of the south as we zoom in youll see good portions of the Santa Cruz Mountains and then the peninsula hills as it runs right up the spine of the peninsula weve got Power Outages there jumping over to the east bay you can see that on the diablo range out by a livermore the Altamont Pass and then as we scroll further to the north youll see around mount diablo weve got some areas impacted by it as well the foothills of mount diablo and then lastly up in the north bay as it comes into view youll see that we have both mountains in sonoma and napa county impacted by these planned power shut offs again these are the areas where pg has proactively gone in and cut power to folks living within these areas outlined in purple, lets go outside right now the kron 4 Sarah Stinson shes in calistoga with the latest there sarah. Well its so dark out here probably look like a floating head, i mean its always dark but im saying theres no lights around me really i drove lena calistogas school area in napa county. It is for the most part dark, but there are a lot of these towns cities that have either the city has them or pg need supplies generators to cities that are just used to this at this point so some have power because of the generators but pg e officially cut the power to the cities here in napa county around 6 oclock yesterday it was something that weve been talking about since monday. So that shouldnt have been a surprise to anyone and then what was it like 2 got an alert from pg saying ok its happening around 6 oclock officially they cut off the power here in calistoga 2,277 customers without power saint helene a 193 customers without power. And then in the unincorporated areas of napa county were talking about 6700 customers without power so its definitely going to be rough for people thats a lot of people without power. As i said though many people at this point have bought a generator, its just kind of the only way to survive through these power shut off if not using a lot of candles a lot of flashlights a lot of supplies weve been talking about how to prepare well hopefully you are prepared this is the reality were going to be live here to kind of show you whats going on, definitely going to be hard im not seeing a lot of thats a whole really the whole reason they shut off the power, but im not also up in the hills where most of that with those wind gusts are a more down in the town and the monitoring the weather out here the Power Outages louis and talk to people see how they weathered all night in the heat for now reporting live in napa county Sarah Stinson kron 4 news live in in the dark art, thank you very much sara the Santa Cruz Mountains are in the regions that are most at risk of wildfires. This morning homes in that area. Have with no power people long some road stocked up yesterday on ice and groceries to get ready for the shutdown power shut down as you know to guard against any pga new equipment sparking fires. Because theyre down lines in that forested region they dont want down lines and that forested region. Some residents are hesitant though about pg and es prevention strategy. I would like for them actually fix the issues that they have as opposed to just shutting things down quadrant by quadrant. Relatively small inconvenience. You know for a day or something i sure want more fires appear. One store a generator to prepare for the outages. This is because they want to lose thousands of dollars and spoiled food when the power goes off overnight. And in addition to the power shut offs of course the other big part of this story is the fact that the bear is bracing for high temperatures today, were talking the potential in some spots for triple digits.

It is 5 was found leading up to the pay gates. And yes more cars rolling through the toll plaza that its an easy drive 7 minutes. Thats not bad right to make it off to one o one what about the bay bridge, 80 west one of the most popular bridge us during the morning drive more folks heading into San Francisco as well, but no delays night right now its just clear all the way across the upper deck the only problem im tracking is in san jose. The bird avenue onramp to northbound to 80 all lanes may still be blocked there at that ramp to deal with a car fire that sparked a grass fire. So crews are dealing with that a little slow through the scene but no major delays were still at 11 minutes for north to 80 san jose to cupertino just a little hiccup on the nimitz working your way toward downtown oakland northbound approaching 23rd the usual construction, so minor crowding there if you dont want to bother with it just take 5. 80 west instead of the northbound them its back to you.
