We’ve been receiving indications that this current PSPS could end up being on the shorter side (see our last update), but the latest alert from the Humboldt County Office of Emergency Services suggests that there could be another “piss-piss” on deck for Tuesday. Whee!

Full OES release below:

Humboldt Alert Update – PG & E notified that portions of Humboldt County have been given the “All Clear” for the weather event and will begin the restoration process as soon as conditions allow. No further details or time estimates were provided.

PG & E also notified that another weather event is scheduled for Tuesday, October 29th at 6 am which will also result in a PSPS. Power may still be restored, but it may be turned off again a short time later. Updates will be provided as available. Please note, this information is being provided by PG & E and is subject to change.
