Overview
- PG&E, which executed shutoffs Sunday, reported about 46,664 customers affected by mid‑afternoon in totals that combined planned safety cutoffs and separate weather‑related outages.
- The utility escalated to a Public Safety Power Shutoff Warning for parts of 15 counties, reaching into the Bay Area, the Central Valley and the Sierra foothills after earlier, narrower alerts.
- The National Weather Service called for north to northeast gusts up to 50 to 60 mph with very dry air, keeping Red Flag conditions in place through Monday in interior areas.
- Separate wind damage triggered unplanned outages across the region, including nearly 16,000 SMUD customers losing service in Sacramento late Sunday morning.
- PG&E said some power could remain off into Monday to allow inspections before re‑energizing, and it highlighted 296 Medical Baseline customers who may need extra notifications and support.
