answer this. When they have to respond to structure fires, will there
be water in the hydrants. I suppose the answer is, depends.

If my neighbors car catches on fire in the garage, there is no water
available, it's windy as hell, and the whole neighborhood goes up,
fire takes off crosscountry......

Aren't they going to be responsible for everything after the initial event?


The water districts have their own generators and will keep water flowing or so they say. Supposed to have our power turned off by noon today because of the high winds/fire hazard. They say the power will be off for 2 days but it will take another 3 days for them to check their system for any issues before it's actually turned back on if that makes sense, bunch of flugging wingnuts.


The winds ain't gonna do schitt....sustained winds forecast at 15-30 MPH gmafb....


35-55 mph

Thinking 35-55 is 15-20 mph less than the wind that started the fires. There is some truth in the tort post. PG&E is killing 2 birds with one stone, playing it safe and making a point about the liability laws. I don't think this wind is enough to warrant the shut-off..., but it would cost big $s to be wrong.
