California blaze: Tens of thousands forced to evacuate homes as fires rage on; US state expected to see more power cuts

Firstpost  

Fast-growing fires throughout California forced tens of thousands of people to evacuate their homes as dry winds and high heat fed flames and fears in the state. Geyserville: Fast-growing fires throughout California forced tens of thousands of people to evacuate their homes on Thursday as dry winds and high heat fed flames and fears in the state still jittery from devastating wildfires in the past two years. The state’s largest utility, Pacific Gas and Electric Co., warned that more widespread blackouts this weekend were expected to shut power across much of the San Francisco Bay Area. “We do think that it will be the strongest offshore wind even this season, by a large margin,” said Pacific Gas and Electric Co. meteorologist Scott Strenfel, adding that it will be “possibly the strongest offshore wind event we have seen in years.” Johnson, the Pacific Gas and Electric Co. CEO, said it was too soon to put a duration on the weekend outages but local officials reported they had already been notified of shutoffs expected to last from 10 p.m. Saturday to noon Monday Pacific Gas and Electric Co. filed for bankruptcy protection in January as it faced billions of dollars in damages from such wildfires.
