Utilities may temporarily turn off power to specific areas to reduce the risk of fires caused by electric infrastructure. This action is called a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS).

We'll have to see if there is high wind in the San Francisco area today. It could blow the stench all the way to Walnut Creek.
WTF is a "public safety power outage?!"
Sounds like something a vaccinated Democrat would say
Never heard of it. I used to work for electrical company, by the way.

So a PSyoPS
Seems like it's also called, "election interference."
KEK KEK KEK or Pleasant Hill...
Sounds like a Kamala-ism.
PGE was found liable for Northern CA wildfires due to wind blowing poorly maintained power lines down. Since then they turn off power at times of heavy winds. Pain in the ass. We are under heavy wind warnings but as I look outside there is zero wind at this time. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-09-29/former-pg-e-executives-announce-117-million-settlement-over-california-wildfires
