Nothing.
Shortly after the above post I got an email from my local, weekly, newspaper the Half Moon Bay Review. Basically, it said there would be no power
outages on the coastside ( the "coastside" runs along Hwy 1 from Pacifica about 4 miles to my north, to HMB approx 8.5 miles to my south). The Review
was nice enough to include a link to the appropriate PG&E information site. No planned outages anywhere nearby, this time. Nothing on the entire peninsula
really.

I don't know how serious the threat actually is/was. Weather facts don't really even suggest a threat anything close to one of those power-debacles from last year. PG&E
now has to play the roll of The Boy Who Cried Wolf anytime there is the slightest breeze through No. CA Mts. That's because they get sued if they don't. Actually, they'll
probably get sued anyway: "...for spreading unnecessary panic through CA households. The poor and people of color being affected more than those of white privilege.
Call (#We Su Four Yu) if you feel you may have suffered anything resembling emotional distress, or may suffer some emotional distress in the future."

I've read a few articles that PG&E has been working hard to be able to reduce the area of power outages. They are trying to be more precise with their area power reductions.
This requires an enormous amount of work as they didn't have any capability like that last year. Just shut off that big power line over there and hope for the best. Major fires
anywhere near me are very, very rare (well except that one a couple of months ago caused by massive lightening strikes). In fact that is the only one I know of, not counting some
much further to the south around Santa Cruz, CA.

I'm hoping today is a sign of progress.
(That's me hoping.)
