The PG&E map is kind of lagged. My cousin on the peninsula says he lost power at 8am today and the PG&E map says his power went out at 11am. Still no eta for him to get power back. He had to go to a neighbor’s house to stay warm.

We’ve only lost power briefly, 3 times so far. Just noticing by light flicker. The second time I had my phone out and went to the app and saw this: (maybe others out there wonder what it looks like)
Forgive the excitement
but first time seeing it on the app like this. BTW it also initially put up a message about 22hrs. Not sure exactly what that was in relation to. Message was gone before I knew it. Back on standby now feeding house from grid. Oh and I had recently put dinner in the oven so glad it will be cooked tonight one way or another. Winds have been gusting on and off all night but husband rolled out garbage can just now. Guess we’ll see if it’s still upright later. I see checking the PGE map that more of our city has been affected.
Stay warm and safe everyone. Hope no one has a flooding issue.

PG&E says if you lose power you can always just hang out in your car. Problem solved.

‘We’re ready’: PG&E prepares for storm, more outages
Pacific Gas and Electric Company says some customers may lose power during the atmospheric river event that could bring several inches of rain to the Bay Area.

Yes, the Stormwatch banner was a an hour or two late to the party. I noticed that had kicked in when the three powerwalls were collectively pulling 10kW, part solar, part grid.
The reason the house is zero is that the neurio refuses to stay up and share data, so the house usage is really
(remote solar - actual home use) = Tesla's displayed home use
I notice that even though the remote solar doesn't get reported as solar, the excess does get used to charge the powerwalls, at least sometimes.
All the best,

It's is irrationally cool seeing this all work!
The app will give an estimate of how long your batteries can run your house given your electricity usage, that's probably what the "22 hours" was.

A flood warning and advisory has been issued for my area and most of LA County for this afternoon, but no storm watch activization on my PW

Yes. I argued the same a few posts ago, yet those in NorCal got storm watch triggered with advisories or watches only.
So I was curious to see if the same would happen here.

what I saw was that SW activated because we had both a Wind Advisory and a Flood advisory at the same time. I've never seen it activated with a single Advisory, only a full Warning

There were areas that only had one advisory or watch, which is why I was curious to see if they changed the standards. So I was using my area today to see if anything did change.

Interesting. A buddy of mine did have his PW go into to storm watch and he too is only under a flood advisory in the same county. He is just about 10 miles north west of me.

He is right on the border of a wind advisory. His exact address is only under a flood advisory, but one block north of him is both wind and flood. I wonder if he is close enough for it to assume he too is under both advisories?
The first image is one block north of him and the second image is over his exact location

Sorry, I was too terse. I see your city is Roseville; is your electricity service provided by SMUD or PG&E (or some other utility)? Since PG&E has many outages and you don't I was guessing you might be served by some other utility.
I've seen multiple reports of PG&E outages for Roseville over the past year. I'm nearby in El Dorado Hills. Friend lives in Roseville and I know he has had a couple outages
City of Roseville has its own electric utility and is not directly connected to the PG&E system.
