The California Independent System Operator for the electrical grid has
declared a stage 2 emergency through at least 6pm PDT. Tomorrow is also
expected to have problems.
Two fires burning near major transmission lines in the Castaic area and
the high Sierras east of Fresno have cut access to power supplies that
the California ISO is depending on to help maintain reliability on this
unusually hot September day.
