And I am not talking about our city council!

The San Mateo County Times explains that the power outage yesterday was because a 115-kv transmission line fell outside the Millbrae substation. Around 25,000+ customers lost power. Seems that the protected California Red-legged frog and San Francisco garter snake hampered business because PG&E could not use their trucks in the field and had to walk across fields and then climb by hand up the towers.

Thank you, once again, to Mrs. Nagel, for letting us know via PG&E's letter that "the cause of the wire failure is not known at this time" I humbly suggest PG&E finds out why.
