I happen to be vacationing in Northern CA this week. We drove up the coast on Hwy 1 then 101 from Oakland to Crescent City. After we left Oakland, we saw no public power for 250 miles. Just a handful of places were open with generators.

There was 1 open gas station for all of Hwy 1. We waited in line an hour.

The economic impact of this event is mind boggling.

They should hold PG&E liable for that! </s>
