Well, some people are feeling prepared while others are not.

Kg pg and e started to send out psps alerts friday evening making people very concerned sot "me and my family feel vulnerable, to be honest.

Where do you go when you do three days with power shut offs, the heat, pets that could be damaged or hurt or put at risk.

I have an 11-year- old boy at home who really doesn't need to sit in 105-degree heat."

While tyson ducker is concerned about his home and his child he is also conerned about his job " i work at a winery personally and i know our entire harvest is at risk at work and if they power goes down, they would have to invest in a much larger generator this year to just make sure we don't lose the entirety of the harvest.

Refrigeration is a key component of what we are doing at work."
