We've got a heavy storm with high wind and rain whipping through #Monterey #California right now. I was woken up by some thunder a little bit ago.
Hopefully all of the sea otters are wearing their kelp seatbelts out in the bay 😬😬😬
I'm watching the substation in downtown Monterey throw up big blue flashes into the sky. We've had a bunch of power blips in the last few minutes but the power keeps coming back on. At least so far. 😬
@douglasvb This morning I was woken up by alerts on my phone as power went out, powerwall batteries took over, then power came back on…
@adrianco that's great your power wall kicked in! Our landlord installed solar panels last year but no battery yet. Luckily we're pretty much the last block to lose power in Monterey and the first block to get it back.
I've got battery backups on our network equipment and for my CPAP so we can last a few days without grid power.
Well except for the sewage holding tank and transfer pump. If the power is out more than a day, the landlord has to bring a generator.
