I live in Southern California. Explanation… there IS a major high winds advisory today, the Santa Ana winds are extremely hot and dry. The electric company was made to pay for a lot of bad fires in the past few years, as they were blamed for their electrical lines getting damaged by these winds and starting fires. So now, whenever they expect high winds, the electric company just turns off the power for the duration, in whatever location the winds are bad. I’m sure if California would take care of their forests better, the forest fires would not be such a huge problem. The residential areas are a bigger concern, since these winds can cause serious damage to power lines. The solution, as the population has grown, would be to put power lines under ground. But of course, California can’t be bothered to spend taxpayer money on practical infrastructure solutions, can they.

When you were explaining about the Santa Ana, I was already thinking about underground utilities.
Great minds think alike.
