Power companies are more worried about profits than their infrastructure or even decent employees and equipment. The Salem Nuke Plant scares me because of this.

If a relatively large earthquake were to coincide with a windy day in Los AngeleS, how many electrical equipment failures might we see?

What if you couldn’t drive away from the firestorm, because the roads and bridges were damaged?

What if Paradise Lost was just a foreshock?

I can't believe they fessed up to this - this was only a conspiracy theory a few months ago.

PG&E, which filed for bankruptcy protection in January, said it had recorded a $10.5 billion charge in anticipation of damage claims for that fire, the deadliest in state history. Largely as a result, the company reported a $6.9 billion loss for 2018.

LOL ah, of course. They are only willing to publicly admit fault when they have their house in order first.

This all day. We are simply numbers on a spreadsheet to these mega corporations.

This story makes me recall a nightmare I had when I was in college, that was most bizarre.

In the dream, I am sitting in my vehicle underneath some large power lines.  It was a partly cloudy day, and it was windy.  The cloud bank above my head was relatively shallow and moving swiftly overhead, with clear blue sky above this cloud bank.

Suddenly, I see a great whirl above my head, and the clouds part in the shape of a whirlwind and I see this invisible being land on the power lines.  I can’t actually see what this creature is, but I noticed that where his hands or feet, I presume, are touching the power lines and guide wires, they begin smoking a greenish color. I also see sparks but I can’t see what this creature looks like, I just know that it’s sitting there on those power lines and that it came down from the sky through the clouds.

This was a few years before the movie Predator, but this creature I saw was similar, in that it was invisible.
