Here in Nor Cal, generators are flying off the shelves. Inland along the I-5, there have already been some "public safety" power cuts, that only lasted a day. Lots of resources were thrown at the line survey afterwards to get the power back on quickly. As summer proceeds, and more cuts happen, more clueless public will drag out the generators and too short of electric cords and start making a mess of things.
