Gov. Newsom giving an update on the #Fire situation statewide. Again talks about the need to hold #PGE accountable and help them improve/modernize its infrastructure @FOX40 Image
“We have been blessed.” Governor thanks the President and the federal government/FEMA for their resources and aid in combatting and responding to the #KincadeFire @FOX40 Image
“I don’t wanna opine.” -Newsom says he won’t speculate on the cause of the #KincadeFire, after reports a #PGE transmission tower had broken wire near the source of the fire @FOX40 Image
Newsom says he rejects the premise that #PGE infrastructure improvement plan will take 10 years, as utility officials have stated. Inferred the utility will be held to a much quicker standard @FOX40 Image
#PGE presser now- official says sustained winds in the North Bay Area of 78 mph; 74 mph sustained winds is considered hurricane force @FOX40 Image
Says at one point, one reading in the north bay showed wind speeds hit 100 mph @FOX40 Image
#PGE expects crews to find significant damage to their equipment once this wind event is over. Says the last major event yielded more than 100 “assets” damaged or destroyed. Expects much more this event @FOX40 Image
Incident commander w/ #PGE says 965,000 customers, millions of ppl, have been impacted in some form by #PSPS #powershutoffs during this wind event @FOX40 Image
Next wind event is October 29th and ends October 30th, should be less impact than this wind event. Not clear yet which regions/areas will see even more #powerShutoffs this week @FOX40 Image
This current weather event, high sustained wind speeds, will be winding down tomorrow morning around 11am according to @NWSSacramento @FOX40 Image
#PGE has 60 community resource centers open to get drinks, dry food, phone charges, etc. in areas where powers been shut down #powershutoffs @FOX40 Image
“To do anything less would be rolling the dice with public safety.” #PGE official on the wide scope of #PSPS #powershutoffs @FOX40 Image
At least #PGE 100,000 customers lost power, and weren’t notified beforehand that they would lose power. They weren’t part of the original #powershutoff plan, but the wind activity caused more #poweroutages than first anticipated @FOX40 Image
“We anticipate restoring a lot of people tomorrow.” Most of the “All Clears” will happen tomorrow morning- meaning crews have the green light to enter areas affected and begin restoring power #PGE #powershutoffs @FOX40 Image
#PGE officials addressing the specific fire in #Vallejo near the Carquinez Bridge, didn’t answer specifically if its equipment caused it. @FOX40 Image
Officials say they’d describe this round of #PowerShutoffs as “improved” from the last round. Say they’re learning a number of lessons, specifically about communication w/customers @FOX40 Image
ALL 965,000 customers power should be restored within 48 hours of the “All Clear”, again that’s expected to be issued tomorrow morning for the vast majority of areas where power’s been knocked out @FOX40 Image

10 Democrat Senators signed this letter addressed to Sen. Lindsey Graham calling on him to state unequivocally that he will not consider any nominee to fill Justice Ginsburg's seat #RBG #RuthBaderGinsburg @NewsNationNow ImageImage
The letter quotes Graham directly from 2016

1) “If there is a Republican President in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say ‘Lindsey Graham said let us let the next President, whoever it might be, make that nomination.’
2) And you could use my words against me, and you would be absolutely right.”

From President Trump's memo on defunding cities w/ social unrest "...it is imperative that the Federal Government review the use of Federal funds by jurisdictions that permit anarchy, violence, and destruction." @NewsNationNow #NexstarDC Image
"Yes, the President is serious about this."-Press Sec. Kayleigh McEnany got a few questions on this, mostly when pressed that the move is unconstitutional. POTUS does not have the authority to unilaterally withhold funds appropriated by Congress. #NexstarDC @NewsNationNow Image
McEnany broke down what this White House memo tries to accomplish in 3 parts...The legal experts & members of congress we've spoken to today say this is unconstitutional and will almost immediately be met by legal challenges. #NexstarDC @NewsNationNow
