PG&E spokesperson: Tonight, we are expecting to initiate a power shutoff
PG&E Senior Meteorologist Scott Strenfel says the timing of potential power shutoffs will be Monday night-Wednesday morning due to a Red Flag warning, high fuels, and Diablo winds (and Santa Anas in Kern Co.)
PG&E Incident Commander Mark Quinlan:
172,000 customers could be affected by power shutoffs.
They need to occur just prior to midnight for the majority of areas. (Map coming)
"We don& #39;t take that decision lightly."

Sorry for the terribly grainy map of areas affected. (It& #39;s a photo off my computer)
Areas 1 & 2 could experience shutoffs starting at 9pm-Midnight. They could start slightly later in Area 3 (Kern Co).
They expect to restore power to all by end-of-day Wednesday.
