Power shutoff now to start at 2 p.m.

3:24 PG and E update:

8 p.m. for Humboldt

2 p.m update:

PG&E  power shut down time has now changed to 7pm tonight due to changing weather patterns and is subject to change.

Power shutoff may start as early at 2 p.m. for Humbdt according to one source. The last time other sources and their timing was more reliable than PG and E.

According to the PG and E press release, it is still at 5 p.m. for Humboldt.

The confusion is not from our local officials but because PG & E  cant send out consistent information. Even now, there is different information from the state. PG & E won't give specifics on what grids will be turned off. PG & E's useless address map is still saying power "maybe turned off."

Any future updates will be posted below.
