  • PG&E Outage in Santa Clara, California: Current Problems and Outages (37)Spookmeister Seán 👻 (@PayneKiller75) reported

    @CandiceR108 @PGE4Me Been here for 35, and there's been less severe storms that have done far worse... so, yea. My point was it's not some small storm; quite the opposite actually. This is not an opinion, it's fact backed by science and just about every meteorologist on here.

  • PG&E Outage in Santa Clara, California: Current Problems and Outages (38)Scott Bartlett (@ScottBartlett48) reported

    @PayneKiller75 @CandiceR108 @PGE4Me We've had plenty of rain here in the past. I don't want to hear excuses cuz it's wet outside. We're not living in a third world country. There is zero excuse for the power to be off this long in the Bay Area.

  • PG&E Outage in Santa Clara, California: Current Problems and Outages (39)D Webber (@PhlatThird) reported

    Why update us with a 3pm restoration time at all, when seven hours later we still have no power and no additional update, @PGE4Me? #CAwx

  • PG&E Outage in Santa Clara, California: Current Problems and Outages (40)Lady Onikara, Night Elf (@LadyOnikara) reported

    hey @PGE4Me fix the power in the Bay Area like it’s Monday tomorrow we need the internet and electricity 😭 power went out at 9am and it’s now 10pm

  • PG&E Outage in Santa Clara, California: Current Problems and Outages (42)Valibod Crane (@ValiOnYouTube) reported

    @PGE4Me i mean, maybe just have a better service? Maybe then your replies and mentions wouldn't be full of people who are angry at you? Maybe then you wouldn't be the laughing stock of power companies?

  • PG&E Outage in Santa Clara, California: Current Problems and Outages (43)Davie Blue (@blue192899) reported

    @PGE4Me WHERE ARE THE CREWS?? Haven’t had power all day yet no ETA and no crews.

  • PG&E Outage in Santa Clara, California: Current Problems and Outages (44)Marco Vivero (@mvivero0911) reported

    @PGE4Me The worst part is that there seems to be zero accountability for this from PGE. how is it possible that this company is so ill prepared for rain? This is California, and rain is not unheard of here.

  • PG&E Outage in Santa Clara, California: Current Problems and Outages (45)Kooj (@SackSquadKooj) reported

    @PGE4Me Powers been out for more than 10 hours now and still no eta…and then we’ll get charged even more just so this corrupt company can collect what they lost.
