Electricity Restored to SDG&E Customers Hit by Public Safety Power Shutoffs
San Diego Gas & Electric by Thursday had restored power to all customers affected by this week's Public Safety Power Shutoffs.
During SDG&E power shutoffs, why do some areas have no electricity but others nearby still do?
During adverse weather conditions, backcountry areas are prone to have electricity cut because they are often located in or around wind corridors. For example, Sill Hill in the Cleveland National Forest is a location where SDG&E’s network of 222 weather stations reports wind speeds of 70 mph and higher when Santa Anas blow through.
