PG&E's planned power shutdown in Northern California, impacting over 20,000 customers, is a safety measure due to elevated fire danger caused by strong offshore winds.
The forecasted winds are expected to gust between 25-35 mph regularly, reaching as high as 60 mph in certain areas, significantly increasing fire hazards.
Fire danger is the primary concern leading to PG&E's power cutoff, as drying conditions following previous rains amplify the risk.
Polling locations will remain operational until after their scheduled closing times, highlighting the utility's careful planning to avoid disrupting the electoral process.
