High winds prompt PG&E to shut power to 25,000 in California
Pacific Gas & Electric began shutting off power to about 25,000 customers in parts of northern and central California early Monday as high winds threatened to damage its equipment and potentially ignite wildfires.
Forecasters issued a red flag warning for extreme fire danger as winds gusted up to 55 mph in mountains and 25 to 45 mph in valleys. The warning extends until late Tuesday.
