Great California blackout coming

Meanwhile, power is out in many places but that hasn't stopped the Bay Area from going up. And this doesn't include what might be going on down south or in Sacramento.

Map: Five Bay Area fires burning in high winds

 

Two of those (24/680 interchange) burning very close to my father-in-law's former house and the church where we were married. Stay safe, friends.

 

Photos of the fire burning on the peninsula underneath the Carquinez Bridge are amazing and horrifying. Especially when you consider the Chevron refinery is right across the strait in Hercules.

 

Damn; and had fire in our town too.

 

NSFW due to some great cussing about PG&E:

 

Jesus. That's horrifying

 

Black needs to go back to writing books.

 

Appreciate your electricity; 36 hrs and counting and life’s pretty lame without it. Terrible cell service too so can’t stream anything to laptop; no wifi; watching DVDs that run out of episodes then try a slow movie (Paterson). Whoa three naps and asleep by 11. Plus it’s cold with no heat (electric ignition on gas system).

 

Books and pen lights? Could crush a whole series.

 

I had already read for a couple of hours earlier in the day (The Witch Elm by Tana French; very good). Being in the dark and cold, sleep calls me.
