Forums General Chit-Chat Losing Power Tomorrow

Donator — She/her Posted 5 years ago ( 2019/10/9 08:06:40 )


Today PG&E (California’s electric company) said that they are most likely turning off power in my area tomorrow afternoon until Thursday at least to combat the high chance of wild fires.
So today I bought water and I can eat without power. I can’t believe I had to do this. Why didn’t they just put the power lines below ground?

I totally agree, you guys need to get compensated. I understand that it’s risk prevention, but they should try to move them underground, or think of an alternative way to make electricity like solar panels. Sounds like such a nuisance.

@Tsundererra: I totally agree about the compensation. But I know those assholes won’t do it.

Also if the power goes out it will be out for 5 days.

@Totalanimefan: You guys need to start a petition or something (not that I know anything about doing that xD) because daaaamn. 5 days without electricity is like beyond a nuisance.
People are prolly spending money on basic survival stuff to get through it, buying spare batteries of all kinds, and will be eating out more. There’s also the loss of food stored in the fridge. The Power to my apartment in Japan went out for a night, and woke up to so many spoiled foods and the ice in my freezer was melted and dripping out... )x I think we got a fancy apology letter, and a certain amount off our next bill.

@vengeance: just know I’m living through it. I still have power but other counties don’t.

@boyrrito: yeah I remember that. My college only closed for like one day and the smoke was so bad. Honestly we collectively probably lost years of our lives from that fire last year.

@buggaboy: yup this is so dumb and people are outraged. And not everyone knows this is happening either. We got one day of warning.
@inatlaka: that sucks too. How long where you without water?

For 4 days! We all had to save buckets of water before they shut it down to be able to flush our toilet D:

@Totalanimefan: I just saw it on the news here. ): I thought that maybe this is something that happens often since you guys get a lot of wildfires, but I guess not.
I wonder if restaurants and shops will be powerless as well. )x Loooord, I hope there’s no looting or craziness if they lose power too...

@Tsundererra: nope it’s the first time and no one knows what to do. Me, coming from a place that loses power due to hurricanes, I know what to do.

I honestly wouldn’t know what to do except for eating all the perishables from the fridge.
