Santa Cruz: East Side Loses Power 4th Time This Week!
For the fourth time in less than a week we lost power in Santa Cruz in the Live Oak area. This happened last night from 7:30pm to about 12:45am. This was the longest outtage in the series.
Over the weekend we lost power in the evening for about 40 minutes and before that it happened in the middle of the day for about 15 minutes a time, with less than half an hour between the outtages.
What could possibly be going on? The weather hasn't been bad at all. In fact, it's been pretty nice. Rumor has it one of the outtages was from a blown transformer. That's great and all. But it's been four outtages!
Well, on the plus side, it has gotten us to get all of our batteries charged up again. ;)

They don't know?! How can they not know. How many questions need to be answered - Is the pole hit? Is the thing that hit it still there? No. Ok, then.

Good grief. That's bordering on incompetence.
Thanks for providing the lack of info that PG&E is not distributing.
