o we're looking to have the generator run the house for probably at least
until Thursday and THEN they'll turn on the juice, which is the spike I'm
trying to ask how to protect against.

I can't figure out what the difference is as we don't even get tornadoes or
ice storms or thunderstorms out here like we did back east.

As Trump would put it, you are living in a **** hole state.

After the big fire a while back the state blamed the fire on the power
company not cutting the trees and stuff off the powe lines.

The power company is now going bankrupt. I lost some money in the stock
market a few years back as I had some in a California power company that
went bankrupt. Hard to believe that a power company could go bankrupt.
None of the lines and poles were sold off as scrap. The power was never
cut off and te company renamed. Just a way of screwing the stock
holders.

They are now cutting off the power due to high winds that may blow the
power lines arround and cause a spark that will set off the fires.
