The most intense fires raged through Sonoma County, with some 180,000 residents ordered to evacuate.
“The next 72 hours will be challenging,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said on Saturday. “I could sugarcoat it, but I will not.”
As of midnight, Sonoma County resembled a disaster zone.
Approx 180,000 people under evacuation order due to #KincadeFire. This is the largest evacuation that any of us at the Sheriff’s Office can remember. Take care of each other.

Highway 101 was closed indefinitely through Santa Rosa as wind gusts of up to 93 mph were reported by the National Weather Service in Healdsburg Hills in the northern part of the county. That said, the NWS now reports that the winds will “start to reduce compared to the peak experienced in the last few hours, but remain strong today with a ramp up tonight.”

Fully involved structure along Hwy 128 near Jimtown. It appears to be a home. Watch how quickly the tree catches fire, sending showers of embers everywhere. This is why it’s so important to evacuate when told to do so. This is situation is changing rapidly. #KincadeFire pic.twitter.com/qVHE9L92HE

As of Sunday morning, PG&E confirmed that it had blacked out over 1 million customers, corresponding to roughly 3 million people.
The outages are unprecedented in scope — larger even than the controversial PG&E shut-offs that affected more than 2 million people earlier this month. Blackouts extending from the far North Coast and the northern Sacramento Valley down into the Sierra Nevada foothills, throughout much of the Bay Area and in parts of the Salinas Valley and Kern County.
In the North Bay, where the Kincade Fire is raging in northeastern Sonoma County, the impact is acute. Much of Sonoma County is subjected to the shut-offs, and in neighboring Marin County, officials said they expected virtually every customer to lose power. –SF Chronicle
This marks the third massive outage in one month, and the second in one week.
“These are difficult calls,” Newsom added at a Napa press conference. “But a society as industrious and entrepreneurial and innovative as ours should not have to face a choice between public safety and public blackouts. We can do both together. And that is what path we are on.“

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news is also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

It’s funny how PG&E cut power to prevent fires but these fires magically begin after power was cut. Lets see, POTUS has stopped federal funds to California for breaking federal immigration laws and gross mismanagement of forest now these fires seem to be a way to get funds through national emergencies. I believe Californians have two options. Remove those from power by any means at their disposal or leave the state.
