In recent PSPSes, they didn't send notifications about the possibilities of or the imminence of the power shutoff. They were turning off the power here during the night/early morning between around 11 pm - 3 am.

Update: Air conditioner blasting in case it gets hot later. Power is still on as of 11:25 am, but who knows if/when PG&E is going to turn it off. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ EDIT: Still on as of 1:03 pm, it doesn't seem like PG&E is going to follow-through. This is even more troubling because they are appearing to send mixed messages, which are just as useless as no messages.

  Just lost power as of 2:19 pm with no real notification yet again. https://pge.com/outages https://pge.com/outages says No Known Outage :/ Call their number to report an outage, just crickets (complete silence). EDIT: Now (at 2:33 pm) it says: ---- Outage Details ---- START TIME: OCT 23, 2:18 PM ESTIMATED RESTORATION: Not available CUSTOMERS AFFECTED: 1015 CAUSE: Unknown - PG&E will be assessing the cause. [This is wrong, they turned it off for the PSPS update which just landed.] STATUS: PG&E has assigned a crew to assess the outage. LAST UPDATED: OCT 23, 2:24 PM Oh yeah, and 5000 customers just lost power in SF. Is PG&E trying to get taken over by the state and cities? Text at 2:35 pm PG&E Safety Update: Forecasted weather conditions have changed. Impacted addresses have been updated. More info: pge.com/pspsupdates. Text UNENROLL to unsubscribe. -- EDIT 2 --- Text at 2:35 PM repeated identically at 2:46 pm. I take it they don't do any de-duplication or indexing of phone numbers for subscriptions, so they just spam people N times and have no way to unsubscribe people subscribed N times.

    Guess what? If the state took over PG&E today, the state would be instituting the same blackouts. For the same reasons.
