Seriously, right now while I'm just tweting our producer is hounding county officials to find out what happens if the jails lose power and booking interviews with state senators on the utilities committee -- help make sure there's a paycheck for her. http://KPFA.org/support
FYI Counties are HUGE in California - not like East Coast. Some are larger than Eastern States.
The one in my county, San Mateo County, is a restaurant in *Half Moon Bay*. Which is, notoriously, connected to the east of the Peninsula by roads that have continuous traffic jams during vacation months. One restaurant. In Half Moon Bay.
And at least for Contra Costa, it’s in a rich city on the far side of the county not easily accessible by public transit.
Yep. The one in my county is 25 miles from my home. All the gas stations are closed, so many can't get there and back if their tanks are low.
The closest one for me is 35 minutes away. Without power, one needs to save gas. I would also like to mention that I have respiratory issues, rely on aircon to breathe when AQ is really low. I have on-grid solar but that apparently shuts down even to cover realtime usage.
That's really scary! I'm so sorry.
