It says they are in 50 outage block, that half of PGE customers are in 50 and people in 50 are not likely to suffer rolling blackouts.

But it shows that 5O will be subject to, and I wanted to make sure there are actually two blocks, one as in the number fifty and one that is the number 5 followed by the letter O.

And are people in 50, fifty, less likely to have a PSPS (I know the website says they are not exempt) because they are on the same grid as emergency services like a hospital?

2. Thanks for the link. I am also in Block 50.

It makes sense, we are near a hospital, a major medical clinic, the county courthouse, the county sheriff's headquarters, and a city police department. We have had public safety power shutoffs here, but not since 2019.

5. Especially here in California--

Here in the SF Bay Area it's been hot as hell-- like up to 112 degrees.

I grew up in Davis and I remember it would be a solid week of 110+ degree temps.

Maybe rain tomorrow.
