Some residents of Alta Sierra, Calif. were without power for 17 days following a large snowstorm: “Between the shutoffs in the summer and now in the winter it’s pretty unbearable”
ALTA SIERRA, Calif.—The lights have turned back on in this community in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, more than two weeks after a large snowstorm knocked out power in the longest blackout anyone here can remember.
“Generally speaking, we are in an era of amplified extreme events in terms of cost, frequency and diversity,” said Adam Smith, a climatologist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Alta Sierra, Calif., located 60 miles northeast of Sacramento, was hit by an unusually severe late-December snowstorm.PG&E said it took weeks to restore service because of issues including snow-blocked roads and toppled poles and lines on many streets.
PG&E officials say they prune or cut more than one million trees annually to maintain clearance from power lines and are evaluating where undergrounding equipment can best work after breaking ground on one such project, with plans for two more next summer.
