2,895 Customers Without Power Around Humboldt Hill
LoCO‘s Blackout Bot tells us 2,895 customers around Humboldt Hill are currently without power. Readers are reporting PG&E robocalls projecting 11 p.m. as the time for power restoration (though those tend to be stabs in the, uh, dark).
Elsewhere, KIEM-TV GM J Warren Hockaday writes LoCO to let us know that their station is off the air.
“I’m troubling you with this because folks might want to know what’s up and we’re not on the air until (hopefully) 11 p.m.,” Hockaday writes.
(UPDATE, 9:15 p.m.: J Warren rejoices! KIEM-TV is back on the air!)
