Don't forget we all have to start buying EV's too. Its "for the children"Ok. So let me get this straight. We going to allow a fairly important commodity like electricity get shut off in the "chance" it prevents a fire?
I've been on hold with PGE and my city to give anyone stupid enough to answer a bit of my mind.
This map appears to show only PGE-supplied areas. For a PP&L map, see Gray Goose's post (#17).Active PSPS Info

That's too bad. South Salem has an area that went to a level 3 evac earlier. I had a CAT scan very near there this afternoon and had lots of the heavy equipment pass me headed towards the fire. I have friends who live in the area and will be praying for them.Oakridge just went to a level 3 evacuation alert.
Its in the Skyline/Vitae Springs area. Sounds like they've got it surrounded with fire personnel but its not contained due to the terrain. They've got a copter and a couple of air tankers dropping water. Hoping everybody and their livestock got out.That's too bad. South Salem has an area that went to a level 3 evac earlier.

Gosh I hate that. I get to the point also where I don't care who gets ragged on. Maybe if THEIR life was made a living hell, word would go up the chain of command. But I know that doesn't happen, and all that happens is make the poor working stiff feel like hell.Banks is back on. I feel slightly responsible, gave a poor soul over there at PGE a few words.
I wasn't too hard on the first one to answer. It was the "supervisor" that got my more choice words.Gosh I hate that. I get to the point also where I don't care who gets ragged on.

Question:
The BIG fires of '20?-'21? Haven't power companies made giant efforts to get flammables away from the powerlines? Seems like that should have been a HIGH priority?
I'm probably safe here. The homeless, druggie scum that had been just a half block *East* from us, with his piles of syringe studded rubbish surrounding his van has moved on. I could imagine him torching his piles cookin' up dope and the fire blowing my way.I wasn't too hard on the first one to answer. It was the "supervisor" that got my more choice words.
As for your questions, that was most of the dialogue I used. I pay my taxes and have never missed an electric bill. I expect them to have this under control, especially since I can't go and switch to another provider.
Used to be some of my old stomping grounds when I lived in SalemThe Vitae Springs/Skyline fire.
I've got lots of ash on my cars parked outside from this fire.The Vitae Springs/Skyline fire.

Oakridge just went to a level 3 evacuation alert.
My buddy and his wife stayed with me last night. Oakridge and Westfir are evacuated. Seems like more of a precausion at this point.Is Oakridge still around? I can't find updates on the fires movement.
