Pacific Gas and Electric will begin shutting off power to customers in the North Bay and in the Sierras this afternoon. It’s another “public safety power shutoff” (or “PSPS”) of the kind that struck Humboldt County along with more than 30 other counties around the state, earlier this month.

To be clear, though: This power shutoff will not affect Humboldt County. Humboldt County is not on the list for this particular PSPS. We will not be powered down. However, we thought this update would be appropriate given the number of people who are still calling and writing us asking whether or not Humboldt’s juice will be shut off today.

It will not.
