There are some unintended consequences of shutting off the power preventively though. Two seasons ago someone had switched on the three generators they had installed because of these "high-winds" shutoffs, one of which caught fire and ended up causing a medium-sized brushfire here, I think on the order of a few thousand acres IIRC. It was in one of the canyons around here, fairly rural, but very near lots of suburbia.
