Crazy wind in Salinas

Still no power in my neighborhood.   Latest update from PG&E power to be restored around 1pm today.   Hope this schedule won't slip again.

Unfortunately estimate times change on priority. If an electrical pole has fallen due to a tree for example, then it moves back lower priority repairs.Parts availability, sometimes having to come outside of your local area.

 Hopefully this will not be the case.

Hope this situation will not get worse this year...

I'd have to say I think I was spared some of the predicted forces, no trees fell on roadways really around my area.  Definitely some fell up the hill from me as they always do.  One thing that I love about living in the forest is the sound of a tree falling 

Meh. Go fly a kite.

I am. I have have one rigged with a skeleton key part way down, ya muggle.

Finally got our estimate... seems it's the same estimate for the entire SLV: 10 pm Tuesday.  So, yeah, we'll be on generator into Wednesday morning for sure.

Yeah once I heard that I called for a hotel room, now at the Ocean Pacific Lodge in Santa Cruz     Updates like that are really, "Definitely not today, probably not tomorrow, but yeah Wednesday looks possible."

You bring your perch gear ?

No, but still have the crab snare gear  stopped by the wharf and it's chocolate soup pouring out of the san lorenzo didn't see blue water for a long ways off.  Sad the end of the wharf is pretty messed up and my favorite restaurant is closed.

Road trip!

Me and alien headed back up North in about a week and a half. Going to base at Doran and fish for steelhead at the Russian River. If all else fails, dungies and mussels at Doran. 

PGE says our ETE (estimated time for electricity) is 4:00pm tomorrow, so we must have higher priority than Boulder Creek.

I love the part on the PGE website where they list the cause of our outage:

“Our preliminary determination is that your outage was caused by the weather.”

It's now "4:00pm tomorrow", which is when PG&E said that we'd have electricity, but now they just updated it to 2 days from now (Thursday) by 10:00pm. That's quite a miss, even by PG&E standards...

PG&E just updated me with eta of "Don't call us, we will call you" 

Now a target of 10PM Thursday...

Just got the same message.

PG&E gave a call around 11:00 to say we have no update, so was going to stay another night at the hotel.  But then they called back around 2:00 to say it's been restored!  Headed home past an army of PG&E trucks on highway 9 leading back up to Boulder Creek.  P.S. I know now that my home always smells like a campground due to the fire pit
