Don't be alarmed if your Cali friends and family are out of touch for a few days [View all]

Massive, nearly statewide fire safety power shutoffs have already started. I'm quickly snapping out emails to family and this before it quits here. It's insult to top injury with out of control blaze in the North Bay with mandatory evacuations.

There are gasoline lines, rushes on dry ice, batteries and other emergency supplies happening in panic mode everywhere here.
