I believe it's a warning that it COULD happen, and much of the state is being monitored mr_lebowski Oct 2019 #1
San Francisco and Marin are the only areas where they will keep power on. secondwind Oct 2019 #2
Maybe the California Group, or Environment & Energy. It doesn't bother me where it is now. NT mahatmakanejeeves Oct 2019 #3

for high winds ... I'm pretty sure the plan is to only shut off power in areas where the winds reach a dangerous level, with all sorts of other parameters involved in the decisions on where it needs shut off.

The whole state is almost surely not going dark.
